What, then, is your workflow for when you are reading through tweets, see someone you follow/respect post a url to an interesting article you'd like to read later? Or perhaps post a quote you'd like to use later?
Copy/paste the url into another tab, then bookmark it? Favoriting tweets for later review is a substantially more convenient workflow.
- ThomPete 11y agoTo be honest i click the article and instagram or pocket that instead of the tweet. I used favorite for things I liked.

If you don't unfavorite, how do you differentiate between a bunch of links int he past week that you may/may not have read? If I want to read something later, I add it to my "Read It Later" service of choice: Pocket.
- smackfu 11y agoPractically, I haven't had a problem. I remember there was an article I wanted to read, I go to my list of favorited tweets, and I find it. Dedicated read-it-later services just end up being a list of articles I haven't read and feel bad about.
- sjs382 11y ago> Dedicated read-it-later services just end up being a list of articles I haven't read and feel bad about. It used to be for me, too. Now I'm much more loose about marking something as read without reading it.
- rorosaurus 11y agoI often would favorite tweets that I would like to reference later. An interesting article or a perspective on some event happening. I wouldn't go so far as to bookmark individual tweet pages, but clicking the favorite icon was an easy-enough way to ensure I'd be able to find what I was looking for later. Just load my favorites page and Ctrl+F.

- em0ney 11y agoYou still can access a list of tweets you have liked, so this workflow hasn't really changed. It is just a long overdue change to the semantics.
- vox_mollis 11y agoThis is true, but the meaning is completely different. I'm not going to "like" a tweet about, say, refugees being slaughtered, even if I might find the read interesting.
