Twitter does have this functionality - it's called a ReTweet. Terminology differs, but it's essentially the same thing - both likes and retweets show up in the user's timelines, and both indicate liking what someone else has said.
- sw1205 16y agoIf I like something in Facebook then only the person who's status it is sees that like. It does not appear in my stream to all my friends. If I RT something on Twitter then I am saying that I want all my followers to see this status. I don't want that, I just want to tell someone that I like their status without involving all my followers.
- stuhacking 16y agoI think you're worrying too much about flooding your followers' timelines with spam. However, this is actually the point of twitter and I think it handles it pretty well. Your followers probably follow you because your tweets are interesting to them. If you see something that you find interesting then chances are good that at least some of your followers will agree. Some followers may have seen it from the original source; others may only get it from your retweet.
