Blogs On Target: Missing The Point?

0 views

For a few days now, the latest Internet goof-up being linked by news sites and IM'ers alike has been focused on Target.com. Since early last week, people have been finding questionable products featured on Target's website. As links to these pages make their way around the Internet, the blogosphere was quick with its commentary. However, did some bloggers jump the gun when criticizing Target?

WebProWorld The pages that brought attention to Target.com were for products that some might not expect to see available from a family-oriented business. One such page intimated that Target.com was offering BoingBoing.net; and news sites, like Target's oversight, "Dear Target, a buy Isaac Mizrahi cashmere gloves from Target.com even though your local Target [doesn't] carry this item. When the book is shown on Amazon, it's obvious that Amazon is selling a book entitled Marijuana,' but when shown through Target's interface it just looks like they're selling pot." Blogger Jeremy Zawodny took issue with what he perceived as latest search news.
