New #AmazonCart Hashtag Brings Gear Shopping to Twitter
For those of you who already have an Amazon camera gear purchasing infatuation, leading to a slim wallet and empty bank account, this may be NSFL (so turn your head away): Amazon has teamed up with social media giant Twitter for a new feature that allows you to now add items to your Amazon cart directly through the social network.
As with any other items on Amazon, you can choose to save the items for later or delete them, so don’t worry about it automatically make purchases for you.
How can this be useful to the photography community? Well, all of those other photographers who review, curate, and share gear on their Twitter? You’ll now be able to easily add the items they tweet out to your Amazon cart, saving some time and making sure you purchase exactly what product they’re talking about.
Down the road, it’d be interesting to see if they allow you to add items to specific wish lists, but for now that feature isn’t available. In the meantime, you can head on over to Amazon to read more into how the service works and set up your accounts.
