This story in the WSJ about Wal-Mart’s big ad partnership with Facebook is as interesting for what it doesn’t say as it is for what it reports.
But the best aspect of it is that Facebook’s future rests in large part on mega ad-buys from what is probably the least-cool corporation on the planet. Turns out that Eduardo Saverin wasn’t being stupid when he tried to get Zuckerberg to run ads from low-rent companies when Facebook was in its infancy. He was just early.
