If you’re into Twitter, something you might do on a regular basis is “favorite” an update so you go back later to check out the link that someone provided. It’s sort of like a bookmarking feature.
An interesting service surrounding favorites is favstar, which offers the ability to see how many people have made one of your updates a favorite, and how many times it’s been made a favorite.
From a personal standpoint, favstar is interesting because it provides information on who thinks your updates are interesting by showing their photo/avatar, as well as their profile information. It’s a good tool to add new friends.
As well, favstar can highlight the most popular updates made by high-profile Twitter users. For example, if you’re into Guy Kawasaki (@guykawasaki) but don’t want to read the 40 or so tweets that he and his team of ghost writers write every day, favstar will show tje ones that resonated the most.
favstar is another one of those Twitter services that would be a solid part of a Twitter productivity suite because it’s a useful and interesting feature focused on an area that probably doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves.
