Amazon launched a new feature called "Spark" inside its mobile apps today. It lets you buy goods that you see from within a list of photos.
It's kind of like Instagram or Pinterest in a way, but for more than just looking. Here's how to use it.
Open Amazon on your smartphone. Tap the menu button on the top-left, then "Programs and Features."
Tap "Amazon Spark."
Tap 'Get Started'
Select 5 or more things you're interested in. I chose technology, videogames, books, computers and Amazon Echo. Tap "Next."
You'll have to create a profile. Then tap "Start Exploring."
Now you'll see a list of photos from other users that you can browse. It looks a lot like Instagram. Like this one, with books.
Or this one, with the Surface Pro.
Or this one, with a candle.
Tap the picture and you can buy any product in the picture, like this candle.
You'll end up on the product page.
Were you can add it to your cart, as you would with any other product you buy trough the Amazon app.
I'd never spend $26 plus $7.30 for shipping on a candle. But maybe you'll find something you like! Give it a try.
