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.
