Fast Five | The Jig Is Up On The Walmart VR Charade

In the latest edition of the Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by FastSensor and Takeoff, Anne, Emma the Intern, and I talk: – Walmart smartly (and finally) shutting down its doomed from the start Store No 8 VR experiment – Social commerce, by way of WhatsApp Shopping – Stripe and Shopify linking up for banking – The opening of Amazon's 5th Fresh grocery store in Illinois (which is getting to be a pretty common occurrence in the Fast Five) – The death of the IKEA catalog – And, breaking the sound barrier. Yes, who doesn't need a little Chuck Yeager, especially this week? All that, plus we ask Emma the Intern how she is coping with her newfound celebrity status.
