A lot of people treat the favourite button (star) as "like". Unfortunately neither Twitter's web interface nor its API expose this data in a very useful way, so it only really has an effect if the like-ee is using a sufficiently thick native client or a third-party site like http://favstar.fm/ http://favstar.fm/ to keep track of who's faved their tweets.
- spinchange 16y agoActually, favorites on twitter have their own API stream now. Sites like favstar now update in near real-time and you can get instant "fav" notifications from iPhone notification apps like Boxcar.
- jdavid 16y agoi use the favorite star as a bookmark. i wish twitter had more gestures.
