Twitter just became an excellent way to manage your holiday wish list.
Amazon revealed a new shopping hashtag Wednesday that allows shoppers to automatically add items to their wish list with a tweet.
After sending a tweet containing the #AmazonWishList hashtag and a link to the item (or replying to a tweet containing an Amazon link), the MyAmazon Twitter account should reply with the status of the item, including when it gets added to your list, if it's out of stock and how you can buy it.

This is the second time Twitter has partnered with Amazon on a hashtag. Previously, the companies introduced #AmazonCart, which allows users to add items to their Amazon shopping cart. As with that hashtag, users who want to take advantage of #AmazonWishList will need to link their Amazon and Twitter accounts through their Amazon account settings.
Twitter has been ramping up its experiments that put shopping and buying services in users' Twitter timelines in recent months.
The company confirmed it began testing a "Buy now" button earlier this year. A payments and shipping option also appeared later in some users settings menu, prompting speculation that the social network may be moving closer to launching a native shopping service.
