Explore Twitter Favourites with Favstar

I'm constantly fascinated by Twitter favourites - they're one of the least-used aspects of the service, and serve as a great way to save humourous (or ever useful) updates from other users for your perusal. But let's be honest, it's always nice to know who's finding your own updates interesting or amusing. That's where the likes of Favrd and Twitfave come in - two great services that let you know who's been adding your updates to their favourites.

However, I've always had this craving for yet more information about favourites, with more visualisation of who's favourite-ing which updates: and that's where Favstar comes in. Once you've signed into Twitter via OAuth and authorised Favstar to access your account, you'll be able to continue browsing tweets that others have favourited as well as see information on exactly who has marked your updates as a favourite.

When it comes to showing you who's marking your updates as a favourite, there's a number of options: from all-time 'greatest hits' of your most 'popular tweets' (here's mine - Ed: contains rude words) to a list of the number of favourites you've received from other users (again, here's mine) Favstar has all the bases covered - and since its launch become one of my most-visited Twitter mashups.
