@Patricia – great definition of the word “Favorite” in how it's being used in Twitter. Appreciate your thoughts on additional URL shorteners that other people are using.

Favorites. When you favorite something ANYONE can look at it too. It can be used to remind you of something you have interest in but couldn't look at it at the time or something you like to RT on occasion.

There's also another url shortener that is looking better everyday, check out: http://txtn.us

It uses special characters to guarantee just 6 characters in the URL, like this:
http://❽.ws/❤

Seems pretty cool. They also have tools to reduce text using ligature replacements, to fit more into the 140 limits. It's beta but I've noticed it's getting better. They just added tracking tools.
