Then there are those Twitterers who connected the change to Facebook and Instagram — and they were NOT happy about it either!
Twitter changed “favorites” into “likes” in an effort to be as uncool as Facebook.

So @twitter changed its star icon for favorites to a heart calling them likes. I strongly condemn this ‘facebookization’ of Twitter.
