What a coincidence. I just released Tweetd, somewhat similar! :)

Your service looks very cool. I love the approach you took more on tweets you make and then building a blog from them.

I see a lot of synergy with what we are both doing and perhaps we can chat more on how to work together.

Err... "fava" is a regional (but well-known) term for "penis" in italian. I bet you'll get some unexpected traffic and links from Italy.

I actually already use IFTTT for this exact thing. Anything I favorite that has a link gets put into Pocket. Is that essentially what this is doing?

I love the idea (one of many listed in my evernote), but I really don't like the tag line. "Your personal Twitter favorite automaton" doesn't explain the awesome value this provides in curating and organizing my twitter favs. Good luck!

Thanks for the tip.

Love the idea! Have you considered this from a job search point of view?...go to twitter, search for #job and quickly build a list of jobs to be checked later. Especially if you summarise the content etc. Might be better as a separate service but it appears you have all the tools :-)!

That is a fantastic idea!

On my current list of consideration I have the idea of allowing a user to "watch" someones Twitter feed and provide the same functionality as their favorite. This would work great as well.

Appreciate the feedback.

Noticed you offer an API, I might throw something together. Will send you a link if I get a chance to do it.
