When Wal-mart Experts Blog

After seeing The High Cost of Low Price and doing some research on my own, I don't shop at Wal-mart. But I was drawn to their new "experts" blog, Check Out Blog . The blog experts are in Gaming, Sustainability, Gadgets, Lawn and Garden and Movies.

Some of the recent posts:
$500 Laptops
Hot Toys for Christmas 2008
Wal-mart Chooses a Hi-Def Platform

I liked reading this blog. I learned stuff.

Because Wal-mart is so huge, I feel as if (Wal-mart or) this blog might be able to wag the dog. If the Wal-mart buyers/experts think the new Elmo will be the new hot toy, does that it mean will be? And if it is, is it because the Wal-mart expert picked it or because it really is the new hot toy? If Wal-mart picks Blu-ray as their Hi-def choice...does that mean Blu-ray will survive and HD will cease to exist?

I might not be explaining myself properly...I'm *supposed* to be memorizing lines for the musical NINE...but I'm clearly blogging.
