Now You Can Add Something to Your Amazon Wishlist Just by Tweeting About It

But Forrester analyst doubts many consumers will use it

Amazon and Twitter are already gearing up for holiday shopping with the launch of a new hashtag-triggered shopping tool today. Amazon's new initiative is dubbed #AmazonWishList and builds on a similar initiative that the online giant rolled out in May. Now, when Twitter users see a tweet with an Amazon link in it, they can reply to the tweet with the hashtag #AmazonWishList. Doing so will automatically drop the product into an Amazon Wishlist account.

To add the feature, consumers first have to link their Twitter and Amazon accounts via a microsite.
