#AmazonBasket

Revolutionary by no means, #AmazonBasket is another way to add items to your shopping basket but does so using Twitter.

Once your Twitter and Amazon accounts are linked, it means that replying to tweets containing the aforementioned hashtag automatically adds them to your cart to buy later if desired.

I can see this being a good way for authors and other creatives with a decent Twitter following to get potential sales, or for media outlets looking for a way to increase Kindle subscriptions. Then again, it could go quietly into the night if Twitter users find it intrusive or irritating.
