That is right! Kmart, our favorite troubled company now has its own social network. It is just one of the multitude of social media sites that have cropped up on the internet recently. However, this one is extremely unique.
The name seems cheesy. Who would even go to a site called MySears.com? I honestly would not! While the site itself is nice and easy to use, it is too bright and clean. When viewing in a dark environment, such as late at night, the site will brun your eyeballs. I am not too big on shopping, as I do not like Sears or Kmart in the first place. Although, I decided for the fun of it to see what sort of interesting things I could find. My Sears is very close to MySpace in the many fields and surveys to fill out. However, it still offers the starkness of spacebook with no ability to customize the colors or add any auto playing music to your profile.
Overall, the new MySears is an alright site. However, social media is not the best idea for shopping. I think once Sears has a large user base activly reviewing products that they sell that they have a great product on their hands. In the mean time, it is sparse and not interesting. Join today and you can get specials sent to your email by Sears, if not, wait for them to refine it and then join up!

So, let me get this right. Instead of users who go to 3rd party review sites, they want people to go to a review site, run by kmart, reviewing kmart products?
/me smells bias.

It’s a monopoly. Kmart is trying to take over the world. Too bad Walmart hasn’t started something like that.

Actually, Walmart has it’s own social network, it is however, only for associates at the moment
But you get to meet “friends” and stuff, add them, talk to them via this same network and so on.
But who cares right?

MySears.com is not the first such shopping site and will not be the last.
While I realize you were only giving a review of the site, Ryan, lighten up. Even your tweets sometime sound frustrated. High blood pressure and heart problems may be in your future caused by stress. Just live life.

Crimsy, just another attempt by Walmart to take over the world right? Haha!
Heya Nellie, sorry if I seem critical sometimes, usually I’m just being cynical or sarcastic. I’ll try and lighten up.
