> Bookmark button (de facto silent like) on Tweet details rolls out a week later. Long form tweets early Feb Unless they are planning on bullying their users into switching to some mobile app (kind of like Reddit do), I don't see the point of adding a bookmark button that all browsers already implement.

A lot of applications, including Hackers News with its Favorites, include some sort of internal bookmarking. Slack, Teams, Instagram, Facebook (I think). It seems reasonable for Twitter to introduce this feature as well.

  This is a bit of an obscure fact, but HN favorites are also public. You can browse them at https://news.ycombinator.com/favorites?id=<username> https://news.ycombinator.com/favorites?id=<username>

  Twitter has had bookmarking for a long time: https://twitter.com/i/bookmarks https://twitter.com/i/bookmarks The only thing new is a dedicated button for it.

    There’s been a dedicated button too right? Idk I personally stopped using it a few years back when I learned that it capped out at like 500 entries and overwrote my old entries.

Funny that Mastodon already has this feature.

This is how the "favourite" button was used by many, before it became "like"

The vast majority of Twitter users are on the app, I'm sure. People sometimes put in their bios things such as "likes are not endorsements" or they will just like to bookmark. I upvote on here to bookmark.

I don't get it. Twitter bookmarks already exist and I've been using them for the past (roughly) 4 years when I want to save something but nit like it. Are they changing that? It definitely can't be coming soon if it's been here for ages already though.

  It's about making it easier to click on bookmark instead of one level deep.

  Exposing functionality by dinking around with css and templating is pretty much every 'improvement' so far, so why would this be different.

Twitter has a bookmark button. It's accessible from the share button. I think they're planning to move it next to the like button to make it more visible.
