Amazon jumps on the Twitter bandwagon

Link: Tech Digest: Amazon starts touting its wares on Twitter

The online retailer is putting its latest special offers on its Twitter page so you can easily keep up to date with the current bargain of the day.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this approach is that it provides, essentially, a free SMS service for the consumer without Amazon having to layout a single penny other than a little bit of coding time initially.

Interesting. Still haven’t worked out what the financial model is for Twitter. Someone’s got to pay for all these texts… 🙂
