USA Today: Twitter’s “favorite” button just got a makeover. The company announced that it is switching out the “star” icon for a “heart,” which will signify a “like” rather than a “favorite.” The company said the star icon was confusing for newcomers and noted that users “might like a lot of things, but not everything can be your favorite.” “The heart, in contrast, is a universal symbol that resonates across languages, cultures, and time zones.”
