#AmazonCart

When I logged into Author Central this morning, I saw an announcement for a new feature called AmazonCart. If you visit Author Central, you can find the announcement there.

The new AmazonCart feature works with Twitter:

• If a Twitter user receives a tweet with a link to an Amazon product, the customer can reply to the tweet adding the #AmazonCart hashtag.

The new #AmazonCart hashtag will start working Tuesday, May 6, 2014.
