Buy Stuff From Amazon through Twitter – #AmazonBasket
Amazon has launched a way for their shoppers to buy items from links in Twitter with their new #AmazonCart for the US and #AmazonBasket for the UK.
All you need to do is reply to the tweet with the item linked in it (the item has to be linked from Amazon) and put either of the # depending on where you are in the world.
Before you do that you will need to link your twitter account and Amazon account together.
When you buy a product through this method you will be notified by @MyAmazonUK Twitter account for the uk and @MyAmazon in the US. You will also get a confirmation email.
This means that you can put a product that you like in your basket straight from Twitter and buy it later and not have to find it on Amazon yourself.
For the product to qualify it needs to have their Amazon link in the original tweet. I think it is a great idea as you can see how popular the product is through social media. It is also one of the most useful # I have seen in a while.
