Walmart.com on open source

Tagged with: , , , , — John @ 4:16 pm

Matt Assay (Walmart.com runs open source) points to a Yahoo News article on Wal-Mart’s recently launched redesign with features built on top of the Open Laszlo platform.

There’s a tour of the new features or you can go directly to Toyland and start creating your wishlist by voting yes or no on the toys.
Some interesting functionality inside women’s apparel (highlighted in the tour) which hasn’t been leveraged throughout the site yet, including an add-to-cart that doesn’t interrupt the shopping flow and live color swatches.

Worth a persual even if you’d never admit to buying clothes from Walmart.
