I always understood "favoriting" to be like "saving" a post in reddit. However, the digestabilibty of tweets are pretty much instantaneous so "saving" them is without merit. So I understood the genesis of "hearting" or "liking" to be very much so a re-branding of a highly adopted UI. Was this move organized before @jack came back to Twitter?
