Dear BlogHers,

I posted on the Wal-Mart topic here, at womenandwork.org.

As I mentioned in my post, I founded the department at Edelman responsible for the current missteps. Some commenters on Marianne's post said that this was a result of big corporate money entering the grassroots, citizen-driven blog medium we all hold so dear. Maybe, but it's of course not that simple. Some commenters praised Wal-Mart for its "baby steps" into the blogosphere.
