Amazon to the rescue! Starting today, by simply hashtagging #AmazonCart with the Twitter handle of your favorite product and an Amazon link, you can add it directly to your Amazon cart.
Here's exactly how you would go about doing this, in the simplest terms possible:
1. Go onto Twitter
2. If someone tweets an Amazon link, open the tweet
3. Reply to the tweet, and put #AmazonCart in the reply (#AmazonBasket if you're from the UK)
4. Whenever you go in your cart next, it'll be there

That said, this is brilliant for Amazon. If this catches on and they can essentially corner the Twitter market entirely for themselves, this will be a huge coup. It's all going to hinge on just how much energy different companies put into tweeting out Amazon links.
