Friggin brilliant idea for a site! LOL

It was just featured on the front page of Yahoo and Time Magazine also picked it up so the site is down at the moment but you can view a few photos at their Facebook account.

This came across on twitter last week and I happened to go to Target right after I saw the site. There were people there that could rival the Walmart people, but PeopleofTarget.com just doesn't have the same pizazz.
 
Here's out friend from Walmart (Rickytic3),

imho it was a great viral play. heh. they weren't prepared, but seem to be doing ok now with some ads up even. i wonder how much they got from that Time link + all the others.

will walmart go after them for the name in the domain? anyone buy walcreatures.com yet? (yup... not me either. heh.)

has been interesting to watch it play out over the last week or so.

what lessons for us marketers to learn about viral? be mean? amateur attempts are better received?
