For what it's worth, both Facebook and Google+ have features to discriminate your posts between family members, work, friends et.c. - Lists and Circles respectively. 141.101.98.218 01:37, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Anything about the repetition of the phrase "the Walmart of social interaction"? --Troy0 (talk) 17:59, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Maybe the first phrase is meant as a comparison. I.E. The one-stop-shop of interaction. While the second phrase takes it literally, since the comic depicts interaction inside a Walmart (or similar). 108.162.219.125 02:57, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
