Ask HN: How do you use your Twitter favourites?

4 pointsby relequestualover 12 years ago
I've been mulling over an idea for a webapp to help people make better use of their twitter favourites. I use my favourites to save things I want to see later, need to remember to reply to and tweets I find amusing. How do you use your twitter favourites? What features could help you use them in a more effective way?

I recently started using it as a "like" button. So I don't have to reply with "thanks", "cool" etc ...

I personally do not use favourites. I have friends who use them in conjunction with <a href="http://faavorite.com/" rel="nofollow">http://faavorite.com/</a>. It might be worth checking out that site to see how your idea differs.

I don't use the favourites feature at all, but I might use them more if there was some additional benefit beyond 'bookmarking' them.

I use them for the same reasons you use it.

I use them as "Bookmark".
