Twitter abandoned the "stars" in favor of "hearts"

The microblogging service Twitter decided to abandon the “Favorites” feature, which allowed adding entries to bookmarks (as well as expressing sympathy to the author of the tweet - in English the function is called Favorite).

As stated in the official Twitter blog, likes will appear instead of the “favorites”: both the name of the function and the icon will change - the star will change to a heart. In the Russian version of the function will be called "I like."

Changes in the web version and Twitter applications will start to appear from today.

Previously "Forum" писал about reducing the 336 employees of Twitter. This is due to the fact that in recent years the growth of users has fallen. Instagram turn bypassed Twitter by number of users.

In late October, one of the founders of Twitter, Jack Dorsey did sensational statement. He decided to hand out a third of the company's shares to the employees. Thus, employees will receive one percent of all Twitter shares.
