    LIKE it or not, Twitter on Tuesday retired its star button that users click to "favourite" a post and replaced it with a heart.

    The messaging platform said the new system of "likes", which is also used by Facebook, offers a better way for users to express their views. But it quickly sparked an outcry from some users.
