Amazon (AMZN) is virtually everywhere you look at this point; from your nightstand, to your refrigerator and, of course, your smartphone. And now the company is launching its own kind of social network called Amazon Spark.

Amazon’s Spark is a social network that for spending cash. More

Available Tuesday for Amazon Prime members using the company’s iOS app, Spark is a Pinterest-like service that lets users upload images of themselves using products, or just products. Other users can then view those images and follow links to purchase the displayed items through Amazon.

You don’t have friends on the social network, though. And you can’t search for particular users. Instead, you can follow people so that they show up in your feed more, but you won’t get any updates on their lives or anything along those lines.

So far, the majority of the images I’ve seen on Spark look like they were taken by professional photographers, while just a handful seemed like they were shot by regular consumers using their smartphones.

My interests on Spark are pretty accurate. More

Spark is obviously designed to let you view products in their natural habitats (your home) rather than against a plain white backdrop. The shots are meant to make products look more inviting, so you’ll feel more inclined to purchase them. Like Pinterest, Spark also provides you with ideas for things like decorating your home or wedding favors.

The service’s social aspect is similar to Facebook’s (FB) Instagram in that you upload, comment on and share images. When you do upload a photo of a product to Spark, you have the option to add a link to its Amazon Prime page, giving other users a quick means to purchase it.

Purchasing made social

Images with Prime links have small shopping bags in their bottom right corner with a number corresponding to the total products you can view.

One image by a user named Ray had a shopping bag with the number 2 next to it. When I tapped the bag, the image popped open with two orange circles pointing to the products being displayed — in this case a treadmill and elliptical machine. Tapping the circles pulled up amazing Prime purchase links for the items.

You don’t have to include purchase links in your photos, though, and you can always just upload a photo you want to share like any other network.

To ensure you’re not bombarded with images of items that you have no interest in, Amazon requires that you select up to five areas of interest. I chose Video Games, Electronics, Technology, Automotive & Vehicles and Fitness, because I’m a nerd, but also want to seem cool.
