Default Wal-Mart Offers Shopping Portal

http://www.businessinsider.com/wal-...roviders-2009-8

"Walmart is taking on Amazon with a new shopping portal, which includes about 1 million items from other vendors."

Wal-Mart currently attracts 33 million unique visitors per month, compared to Amazon's 67 million, so the market is there. Thus they have opened a portal that will include eBags, Pro Team and CSN stores. It will be interesting to see if Wal-Mart takes a chunk out of the Amazon sales number. What will it take to get you to switch?
