Twitter replaces favorites with likes, changes icon from star to heart

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/twitter-replaces-favorites-likes-changes-icon-star-heart' title="Twitter replaces favorites with likes, changes icon from star to heart"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_blw/public/article_images/2015/11/twitter-hearts-iphone.jpg?itok=N8zydbye' />[/url]</p> <p>Twitter (http://www.imore.com/./twitter) has changed the way things work, switching from favorites to likes and changing the shape from a star to a heart. The company states that a heart is a more universal symbol, one that is recognized and resonates across various languages, cultures and time zones. <!--break--> Twitter has been embracing hearts on Periscope since it launched, and now the company is bringing them to Twitter and Vine.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>The switch from stars to hearts will be made shortly across Twitters Android and iOS app, as well as on its website, TweetDeck and Twitter for Windows 10.</p> <p>Source: Twitter (https://blog.twitter.com/2015/hearts-on-twitter)</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
