#SmashThatStar! It says, to the author, “I dig what you did there!” It doesn’t broadcast your “like” to your followers or theirs. This is a 1 to 1 “like” between you and the author - something twitter doesn’t do - and it lets you express your appreciation for what someone else has written #privately.
*If* you want your followers to also see you enjoyed or support what the author said, #BoostIt (retweet it) :-)
