pageta Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Anyone see this message pop up while shopping on amazon? "Need help deciding? Ask a friend now." Has anyone tried it? Who is this "friend" exactly, and what do they know about what I'm looking at? Signed: Dying of Curiosity But Too Scared to Click Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I was just playing around on Amazon and I haven't seen that. I might be concerned it was some kind of outside pop-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angela in ohio Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 It's me. I'm the "friend" on Amazon. At a certain point, Amazon and I have spent so much time together that we are BFFs. Now when people can't pick books, Amazon looks aver at me and says, "Hey, do you want my friend to help you?" :lol: Just kidding. Click it and find out for us....

Well, except items I am going to buy. Yes, I am a friend of Amazon too, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranquilMind Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Interesting. At least it isn't a blanket advertisement of your question to all of your FB friends. I hate it when Amazon asks if I want to share news of my purchase with others. I about choked the time it asked me that when I had just ordered undies through Amazon. Yeah, like I want all of my FB friends to see exactly what size and color of undies I ordered. :lol: Yeah, what's up with that? On what planet does it make sense to market for retailers to my friends for nothing? This is AMERICA. PAY ME!;) Just kidding. I don't "like" anything. It results in endless streams of advertising to me and to others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I shop amazon alot. never seen it. I have seen something similar on other sites and found them worthless as my questions can't be answered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amydavis Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I shop Amazon all the time, and I've never seen this. Maybe I'm just not that observant? Or maybe Amazon simply knows that I don't appear to have difficulty with just making the purchase, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to happen when I stay on a page for, say, 30 seconds. They assume I'm thinking, but usually it's because someone interrupted me.

QuirkyKapers Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I have been on Amazon all afternoon. Nothing like that has popped up for me. I wouldn't click it. Have you chatted online with Amazon to ask them about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
