Twitter has just ditched the star icon that represents "favorite" tweets and replaced it with a heart that means "like."
In a blog post Tuesday, Twitter product manager Akarshan Kumar wrote, "We are changing our star icon for favorites to a heart and we'll be calling them likes ."
He added that the company decided to swap star for heart after seeing how users "embraced hearts in a big way on Periscope ," the live video streaming app owned by Twitter.
Not even everyone at Twitter is behind the switch:

Kumar argued in his post that using a heart to show you like something makes more sense than favorite-ing it with a star, because hearts are universal symbols and "not everything can be your favorite."
