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 use favourites as bookmarks. Not sure I would want to immediately retweet everything.

@stilkov I use them to tag things I want to follow up on later. I made a pass through them yesterday. Some good stuff there ;-)

. @stilkov Maybe, "favorite now and read a post later" ?
Replying to @stilkov
@stilkov It's applause, or silent acknowledgement, or a device to save for later. It's used to curate comedic tweets by favstar.fm users.

@stilkov I use them to mark stuff for archival or reading later. Pinboard looks out for them too and bookmarks links inside tweet
