Twitter is fantastic for doing things in the moment.  You can reply to comments you like or retweet them very simply.  When it comes to bookmarking for later however it isn't quite so easy.

Some Twitter users are reporting that the site is experimenting with a 'like' feature that seems to be borrowed directly from arch rival Facebook.  The new like button is appearing in place of the traditional 'favorite'.

Thus far it is only appearing on a limited number of users accounts, but you can see from the screenshot below how it will potentially look.

What do you think?  Do you prefer likes to favorites?
