Is there any support for favorite adding/removing/listing via the API?
If not, any plans?

Sorry to be impatient Alex, but both Twitterific and PocketTweets let
you add favorites. How are they doing it? This is the #1 most
requested feature for itweet.net and I'd love to provide it for users.

Thanks, keep up the great work! You guys continue to rock my world.

I'm guessing they've just examined the URLs that we use in our
application and called directly to them with the user's credentials.
I still intend on providing these methods, sorry for the delay.

Hi.
I'm writting my own twitter client and a lib (Tweewee and TweeweeLib)
and I did that in a bit hacky way:
- to add a favorite use: http://twitter.com/favourings/create/{id}
- to destroy it use: http://twitter.com/favourings/destroy/{id}
- and to find out is a particular status favorite I search for
"Icon_star_full"; url http://twitter.com/{screen_name}/statuses/{id}
-- it's a html page, but it doesnt matter.

Hope it helped.
