Hearts are Replacing Twitter Favorites

You can say a lot with a heart! Twitter has changed its favorite to heart; the most iconic feature is now changed. You won’t be seeing a star anymore. Instead there is a heart exactly where you found a star. The hearts are also available on Vine’s apps and websites.
Likes work in the same way as favorites; the idea behind the change is to make twitter easier and more pleasing to use. Product manager Akarshan Kumar say: “The stars could be confusing to new users.”

He also said You might like a lot of things, but not everything can be your favorite. The heart, in contrast, is a universal symbol that resonates across languages, cultures, and time zones. The heart is more expressive, enabling you to convey a range of emotions and easily connect with people. And in our tests, we found that people loved it.”
