The power of social networking sites is such that even the biggest retailer in the world had to take a look.

From AdAge:

Desperate to appeal to teens with something other than pencils and backpacks during the crucial back-to-school season, Wal-Mart is launching a highly sanitized, controlled and rather unhip site at walmart.com/schoolyourway. Teens are invited to create their own page, “show it to the world and win some fab prizes,” including a chance to have their videos appear in a Wal-Mart TV commercial. Wal-Mart’s agency is GSD&M, Austin, Texas.
