I agree, it's a social hack of sorts that he's using for advertisement, which is cool, but abuse of it would render favorites meaningless and it would become spam. However, I could see how if @pepsi wanted to favorite a tweet by @averagejoe because it said 'this new pepsi can is awesome!' it would seem legitimate enough and not spammy.
- vickytnz 14y agoYeah, savvy companies are getting away from the annoying "RT every nice thing people say about my company" with 'fave it and then point the faves at people if they want testimonials". Hostgator does this well: http://twitter.com/hostgator/favorites http://twitter.com/hostgator/favorites
- fudged71 14y agoI don't understand what you mean by "point the faves at people if they want testimonials". Looks to me like they're just favoriting positive feedback that is sent to them
- ohashi 14y agoIf you want to see both sides of that, I actually track positive and negative mentions and do some analytics too. Same company: http://reviewsignal.com/webhosting/company/1/hostgator/ http://reviewsignal.com/webhosting/company/1/hostgator/
