If you're a regular Twitter user, then you'll know that the favouriting a tweet is a good way to come back to it later...or a sneaky way to end a conversation that's about to go on for six hours but you've actually had enough of it. 

Recently, Twitter has been all about that update, bout that update, bout that update, some trouble as they roll out a number of new features including the While You Were Away idea, and late last night they introduced a new way of favouriting tweets. 

Well, it's essentially the same way as always, but when you hit the star to 'fav' the tweet bbz, it like OMG totes explodes the star. It's a new animation, really, but it does look pretty cool, right? 

As the tweet points out, this is an iOS update for now, but probably will make its way to other devices soon enough. Sure, it's just a cheap showy trick that doesn't really add a whole lot to our Twitter experience and may well be an effort to drive up the number of engagements advertisers get for their tweets as they hope that we'll favourite them more often because of the fun animation, but we want it, we want it, we want it...
