Twitter announces the final abandonment Star , which marks the “favorite”, in favor of the more universal little heart, already used by many social networking sites like Instagram and Periscope , the app for streaming video bought in March 2015.
The new symbol will be called “like”, just like the hand with his thumb toward the rival Facebook and has been chosen with the aim of simplify the platform .
On the blog of Twitter Italian reads: “The star can sometimes have created confusion, especially for new users: there are many, in fact, the things that can please us, but not all may be our favorite. ” Hence the decision to replace it with “a universal symbol that has a similar meaning in all the languages and cultures of the world.”
To simplify the transition from the old five-pointed symbol the heart, the microblogging platform has published a Video that explains the various meanings of the new button . They range from “good” to “wow” through “adorable” and “ooh” until you get to “beat the five”.
From the company ensure that “ the new icon like personal “, even if the comments posted by users on the company after the publication of the video, do not seem very favorable to the news.
A short distance from the ad, in fact, erupted protests and ashtag #RivogliamoLeStelline rose to first place in the trending topic. There are those who accuse Twitter at giving up his personality for homologate the other social and who points out that between “like” and “add Favourite “the difference is great.
One thing is certain, since Jack Dorsey is back at the helm of the company, the company with the bird is trying to get out of the declining features few users and lack of interactions and focusing on video and advertising. The news that most had hoped for a rapid change in the fortunes of Twitter was the option of abandoning the limit of 140 characters in favor of longer texts . Idea that, for the moment, is still under development.
