Seeing as the basic concept of Twitter is ‘less is more’, it should be difficult to make changes that p*ss people off.
Those of us who use the social network think the 140-character limit, retweet and favourite functions work just fine.
But the star used for favouriting posts has all-of-a-sudden been replaced with a heart, and people really aren’t happy.

It’s clear that some of use use the favourite button for different reasons to those the Twitter honchos expected.
Can't wait to get crushed for "liking" a post I'm simply bookmarking to read later. This should be fun.

While there’s still at least one bastion of hope…
They're still stars on good ol' Tweetdeck. Tweetdeck never lets you down.

It's okay everyone, they're still stars on my phone. I'll just exclusively use that and never update the app ever again. PANIC OVER.
