Walmart is Becoming a Little More Like Amazon—and Vice Versa

Quartz reported that Wal-Mart has taken a step to be more like Amazon.com with its announcement of the opening of two warehouses dedicated solely to shipping web orders in the U.S.

"Wal-Mart has been angling to compete in the e-commerce world for over a decade but has failed to catch up with Amazon. In 2012, Amazon's sales totaled $61 billion, well above Wal-Mart's online sales of an estimated $7.7 billion, according to Internet Retailer. Wal-Mart remains the world's largest retailer of any kind - it made $469 billion in revenue in 2012, compared to Amazon's $61 billion - but e-commerce spending is growing twice as fast as superstore shopping."
