Amazon Mom

I know a lot of you order your diapers, wipes, and other baby products online. Well, having a new baby has led me to discover a great new feature offered on www.amazon.com called Amazon Mom. When you sign up for Amazon Mom (free to join), you get a total of 30% off all baby product orders when you use the Subscribe and Save feature. When you subscribe for an item (like diapers), you agree to have it sent to you on a regular basis (you set the frequency), but you can cancel or change the subscription at any time. I haven’t checked all types of diapers, but for the particular ones I was shopping for, they were MUCH cheaper than what I found at BJ’s or even on diapers.com.

But here’s the real kicker: when you sign up for Amazon Mom, you also qualify for FREE Amazon Prime shipping benefits for up to a year! Amazon Prime (free 2-day shipping on most Amazon products) is pretty much the best thing that has happened to my life in the last 2 years. I order everything (gifts, office supplies, home improvement items, Christmas stuff, pretty much anything I would buy at Target) on Amazon and love nothing more than seeing it arrive on my porch two days later. If Amazon Prime hasn’t changed your life yet, you might as well try it – free for a year! Oh, and if you already have Amazon Prime, they will credit your account for what you haven’t used yet and start you off on a free year of Prime! Why not?

Just passing on the good news. And doing a little advertising for my best friend, Amazon.

Next step in Amazon's takeover of the world: Amazon Cloud Drive. If you haven't yet uploaded every song and document on your computer, you now can. Pros: Free access to all your files anywhere there is a web connection. It will serve up music too, so you don't even have to keep the songs on your hard drive if you don't want to. Cons: 5 GB limit. Amazon now has custodianship of all your most secret documents. You have to have a good web connection or you can't do anything.
I am a big Amazon fan and am currently uploading gigs of songs onto the "cloud". This is certainly a step toward network/cloud computing and never having to have a hard drive failure/loss of data again. Go ahead and take over the world Amazon. Only Google will care.

Oh, no! I don't think I need another reason to love Amazon!! And having access to Amazon Prime would be amazing. I am going to look into this, I only worry that I'd buy more than usual.
