Likely inspired by Facebook's universal Like button. Now AMZN can know what you like (and would pay for!) across the whole web ... very smart move.

- olliesaunders 16y agoYes, I considered adding it to my bookmark bar and then I thought about how it would make me want to buy a lot more things, so I didn't.
- dwwoelfel 16y agoI find that it has the opposite effect. When I see something on the internet I want to buy, I add it to my wishlist instead of buying it. Then I forget about it until I look at my wishlist again, usually weeks later. The best part is the added perspective and context the wishlist gives me. I can't buy that Old Smokey grill, for example, because the cast iron skillet is still in my wishlist and I want that more. And I didn't buy the skillet yesterday, so I probably won't buy it today -- sometimes status quo bias works in my favor.
- olliesaunders 16y agoI think in the short-term wishlists stop you buying things, but, because they persist you end up buying things that you would normally have forgotten about in the longer-term.
- wwortiz 16y agoIf I'm not mistaken this has been around a lot longer than facebooks like button.
- yarek 16y agoCorrect. At least three years as a concept.
- dazzla 16y agoThis was available long before the Facebook button.
