What Should Twitter Call Favorites?

    Twitter favorites used to function a lot like a bookmark. Following a redesign, they kind of serve multiple masters — they can be a nod of approval, a bookmark, or a method for sorting and finding the best tweets. Now Twitter's testing at least two different names for favorites: the more generic, all-encompassing "Star," and the perhaps more appropriate "Like." I think "Fave" might be the right way to go.
