Scooter Tragedy To Blame For Walmart.com Problems?
from the rumors-rumors-rumors dept
It’s good to see Chris Nolan is still working hard getting good Silicon Valley rumors for the NY Post instead of the SJ Merc (who fired her over a stupid incident). The latest is wondering whether or not Walmart.com’s problems are related to the unfortunate death of their CTO in a scooter accident. The article also talks about how the employees of X.com apparently signed a petition asking their CEO to step down.

WalMart is coming back...
In the SF Examiner yesterday, there was a note, that WalMart should be live again, before Nov. 1.
Why did the site go down completely, during the retooling?
Apparently they don’t have a backup set of servers to run the system with. So when they started pushing an entire build up for testing, they had to kill the existing site to utilize that hardware. Granted, I think there had to be a more elegant way to handle it. But that’s the course they took. In their defense, most .com’s have to worry about mind-share. That’s not really an issue for WalMart, so I don’t think it will be a crippling thing, to have the site down for a month.
