Walmart couldn't have done this 20 years ago because they didn't realise how big or important the web could be at that time. Very few people did.

    Can that be real? With a link to "aolsucks.com" right on the front page?

      They were originally only on wal-mart.com, and have held that domain since 1991. walmart.com was held by "World At Large" until later, looks like 2001-ish. Walmart's branding still used the hyphen (as "Wal-Mart") until 2008. This is the actual Walmart website in 1996, although there's nothing there to be sold. https://web.archive.org/web/19961231122316/http://www3.wal-mart.com:80/ https://web.archive.org/web/19961231122316/http://www3.wal-m...
