"Favorite" sounds like a bookmark, but it behaved like a Facebook "like".
But the fact that its name sounded like a bookmark means lots of people used it that way anyway.
- mbillie1 11y agoGiven that one of the things you can easily do with Favorites is review a list of them, I think it's perfectly reasonable to say it behaved like a bookmark. I certainly used it for this purpose.
- delecti 11y agoMost bookmarks don't inform the site that you've bookmarked it, or let that site keep a very public counter of the number of bookmarks to it, or keep a public record of your bookmarks (delicious(however it was punctuated) not withstanding). It actually behaves very much like Tumblr's "Like" functionality in all of those regards. I agree, it acted at least a little like a bookmark, but not more than it acted like a "like".
