Twitter and Amazon combine to create shopping online, a lot simpler then it is by connecting the accounts together. The way that it works is "Just enable the service on your Twitter (TWTR) and Amazon (AMZN) accounts, and you can add a product discussed on Twitter by replying to the tweet and adding the hashtag #amazoncart. The next time you visit Amazon, the item will be in your cart, and you can then complete the purchase". The object of creating this way of shopping is so that it will take care of someone forgetting the purchase the item that they want that is shown on twitter. This relates to everyone that shops online, including teenagers and adults, that sees things on different websites but forgets to purchase things that they want. I feel like this is a smart thing and a much easier way of shopping, because you don't have to worry about looking up the same items from Twitter onto Amazon. I would use this to actually see if that it works better to shop instead of having to go back and forth. I feel like what will make this want people to try this out is knowing that the creators tested this out and instead did not just create something and let others be the test dummies, it showed that they took the time to make sure it is a better option then something else.
