I tried it and you are right, I can read anybody's favorites. But,
is that intentional? I had always thought my favorites were private
and I think that other users have that same expectation of privacy.

Am I the only one who thinks favorites is fundamentally wrong? With so
much noise, is there any value in marking one tweet as the signal?
I bastardize it and use it as a way to make a list of my favorite
users. This allows me to easily get to a small handful of users. I
don't care what their tweet was, I just need an easy way to get to
them.
This is what I suspect most average users use favorites for. Marking a
user.
I asked a few friends just now and they all thought it was a favorite
user feature. One thought it was broken because he could mark the same
user more than once.
