I’ve been using Twitter for a really long time now, but I never found a use for favorites. Retweets are enough for me. What am I missing?

@stilkov I tend to favourite stuff that I want to come back to (e.g. videos, etc) … that’s it though

@stilkov Favs for me are just a good UI for “bookmark” or “read later”. Favs being public is not useful to me, and sometimes annoying.
Replying to @stilkov
@stilkov Fav: „agree“, „thank you“ (visible to author), RT: agree and share with followers, bookmark article: send link to Pocket

@stilkov ah, I'm not the only one.
Replying to @stilkov
@stilkov I use them as a "read later" mark (for those with links)
Replying to @stilkov
@stilkov I'm using it to remember interesting links that I'm going to read later
Replying to @stilkov
@stilkov Favourites: meaningful for me. RTs: interesting to me AND potentially to others.
