AntiFriday

Possibly I spent too much time reading political news, or possibly I’m just more addled than usual this week, but I didn’t notice as much backlash, dissent, and critique as usual in the last seven days. Here’s what I’ve got.

1. Recently in the linkpile in the sidebar at right I noted this NYT article, “Wal-Mart’s detractors come in from the cold.” Wake-Up Wal-Mart disputes this and says the anti-ness continues: “It is unfortunate that the Times chose to ignore all that we’ve done over the last year, and all that we are planning for this year, and instead focus on Wal-Mart’s PR stunts as evidence of an imaginary slow down.”

3. In the critique corner, Treehugger picks up on Buy-By Brian (recent Murketing Q&A subject) with an interesting post, and also-interesting reader comments.

4. Via bookofjoe: I hadn’t heard about this book but I may have to check it out: The Price Is Wrong: Understanding what makes a price seem fair and the true cost of unfair pricing.
