You know that little star on Twitter, the “favorite” button. OK…so honestly I have no idea what it is technically for, but there are TON of reasons why I use it:
The biggest reason is number 3…to bookmark posts I want to read in the future. You know the sad/crazy thing? I NEVER go back and read any of those posts!
(please tell me I’m not the only one here!)
Just recently I decided to go back through my “favorites” and actually READ some of these posts and I decided to make a compilation list for all of you!
So here is a completely RANDOM list of some of my twitter favorites 🙂
And there are still more things “favorited” that I haven’t listed! I really do like using the favorite button as a bookmark, but I really need to work on getting in there and actually reading the articles.
Based on this post, here are a few similar ones you should check out.

I use it for basically the same reasons, or to show that I appreciated a tweet (found it funny, interesting, etc.)…kind of like a FB like. I’ve been using social media professionally for at least 5 years and still don’t know haha.
Great list, Tara. Heading to check out a few posts now.
Thanks for the mention! I use it to acknowledge comments or to note ones I really liked….but I never go back and look at them, so I guess it really serves no purpose 🙂
I use the favourite button for the same reasons you do. I’ve started emailing myself the tweets to read as well, and now I just have a bunch of unread emails in my inbox. Oops!
I use the favorite button for your reasons 1 & 2 🙂
I definitely use the Favorite button for the same reasons you listed, except I never thought to go back and read the posts I wanted to read either! Adding that to the list 🙂 Thanks lady!
