Favstar gets even better if you sign in.
Sign in to Favstar via Twitter. This allows Favstar to connect your activity to the Twitter database. After you sign in, you’ll be able to see your own most popular tweets, and create your own Favstar list of your favorite people.
Favstar collects your likes and retweets every 5 seconds if you are signed in.
Your total count of likes received is updated every few days. (If you are a Pro member, you get an hourly update of this number).
Favstar shows the “like” heart on the left side under each tweet. When you click this heart, this tweet goes into your likes list on Favstar and Twitter.
Favstar tracks these hearts along with the hearts other people give your tweets.
Liking tweets encourages the writers you like, and the more hearts, the more likely other people will see a particular tweet.
Don’t be shy about giving out hearts. They are greatly appreciated.
Once you have followers, you’ll have a reason to pass along your favorite tweets. Just click the retweet symbol under the tweet, and it will be sent out to all your followers.
Favstar helps you find people you like. When you read a tweet you like, you can also see the most popular tweets this person has written, along with their other recent tweets. And you can see their favorite tweets (using the liked button on the left), and who else liked these tweets.
By liking and following people you like, you encourage them to keep writing the kind of tweets you enjoy, making Favstar more fun.
Your Favstar List is a short list of your favorite tweeters. This is different from the people you follow on Twitter (although individuals may be on both lists).
The 20 most recent tweets of the people on your Favstar list are saved so that you can read through them at any time. To add someone to your Favstar list, click on their image and then click on the button “Add to My List” in the right hand panel.
Favstar is a great tool for researching people before following. That’s because you can see their most popular tweets of all time on Favstar, while on Twitter you can only see their most recent tweets.
You can follow anyone at any time by clicking “follow” under their image. This person will then be added to the people you follow on Twitter.
Followers are your audience. If you write things that are enjoyed by others, you will collect a growing audience.
There is an expectation by some users that if they follow you, you should follow them back. Others disagree.
We recommend that you follow people you enjoy and find interesting.
The leaderboards contain the most popular recent tweets. They are organized by 1000, 500, 250, 100, 50, 30, and 10 likes. When a tweet reaches one of these levels in a short period of time, it moves to the top of that leaderboard.
You can help support Favstar and have more fun by becoming a Pro Member.
You’ll get to give a Tweet of the Day Trophy to the best tweet each day, see and show more tweets, see people's oldest tweets, and get custom notifications.
