So much re-tweeting going on and talking about re-tweeting -- what Twitter really needs is the equiv of "like" in FriendFeed.
Use pointers. In programming, pass by reference instead of pass by value.
Favorites are 1/2 of "like" -- the other half being the functionality of RT. Everyone who follows you sees something if you like it.
"like" is also analogous to voting something up in Digg or Reddit.
