Because people spend an average of 6.9 hours per month on social networking sites, Twitter and American Express have announced a partnership that will allow Twitter users to buy products by simply tweeting the appropriate hashtag. The new service is available beginning Wednesday, Feb. 13, including offers for discounted products such as the Amazon Kindle Fire and the Song Action Cam.
For those savvy tweeters who are looking to turn their Twitter profiles into e-commerce shopping carts, here’s a helpful guide on how to shop using only a hashtag.
Get the latest headlines delivered to your inbox 3 times a week, and you’ll be entered to win a pair of Kanto’s newest compact desktop speakers—Uki in the colour “Chalk,” as well as a pair of SU2 stands. Prize value is $330 CAD. Each newsletter subscription = 1 entry. Giveaway closes December 12. The winner will be contacted by an @canadawide.com email. Contest is only open to Canadian residents, excluding Quebec.
