Question; do you favourite tweets?
If so, why? Personally I tend to favourite a tweet that I want to save for later use. It might have a link or something of interest that I don't have time to look at, or it's on my iPhone and want to check it out when I get home.
I don't believe it is used as a recognition tool or similar to the way you mike 'Like' someone's status on Facebook, but rather a book marking tool. I'm told there are websites where you check out who has favourited which of your tweets, but being unofficial I can't really see that being its purpose.
What do you favourite and why do you do it?

Same as you Zac. Simply to bookmark for later reference. It's like using the star on google reader. If I used it everytime I liked a post, it would become pointless with countless "favourites".
late to the parade, as usual. but i'm with you - so i can look back and marvel/giggle at all the cool shit people say. it's more about me than anyone else.
