Twitter rolls out ‘likes’ in Ireland

Twitter investor Chris Sacca got his way, instead of clicking on a star to ‘favourite’ a tweet, users will click on a heart to ‘like’ it.

The new responses are only available for now in Ireland and Spain, and will roll out more widely depending how the tests go.

It is a change Mr Sacca asked for back in June, when the influential Lowercase Capital founder, an early investor in the social media company, wrote a blog post outlining his solutions for the problems he saw at Twitter.
