Customer Communities
What are Customer Communities?
Amazon.com has millions of customers who are passionate about a diverse range of hobbies and interests. You can share your experiences and enthusiasm for your favorite topics with this community of like-minded (and sometimes different minded) people. Customer Community pages provide a home on Amazon.com for thousands of topics, with new ones being added every day by our customers. From the Action community to the Zombies community and everything in between, we probably have you covered.
Find a community that tickles your interest and dive right in! You will find Customer Discussions, tagged products, Listmania lists, So You'd Like To... guides and Customer Images in each community. The community can help you get started with your new hobby, whether it's Photography, Cooking or Quilting. Trying to make a purchase decision? Ask the community for their opinion. Already an expert? Share your knowledge and show off your creations to people who share your interests.
How do I find Customer Communities at Amazon?
Here's how you can find Customer Communities on Amazon.com and get back to those that you find to be interesting:
- Most popular Customer Communities: The Amazon.com tag cloud page shows the most popular topics of all time.
- Communities you have bookmarked: Always available on Your Communities page. To bookmark more Communities, click the yellow "Add to Your Communities" button that appears in the top right of every Customer Community page.
- On every product page: Customer Communities are featured on each product page. Scroll down below the Customer Reviews section and you will find a number of communities that are most relevant to the featured product.
- Search for communities: You can search Amazon.com for communities the same way you search for products. The important difference is that you need to type in the topic followed by the word "community." For example, try a search for horror community or xbox 360 community. If the community exists, it should be the first result you see, with a link to its discussion forum.
- Jump directly to a community: Advanced users can jump directly to the community they are interested in. The URL format is:
http://www.amazon.com/tag/foo where "foo" is the name of the community.
Examples: www.amazon.com/tag/science fiction and www.amazon.com/tag/wii.
