Clicking on the 'favorite' option is not only done by people in Mauritius but worldwide. I think it is because of the 'like' button regularly used by Facebook Users. People are inclined to favorite tweets as they usually confuse that option with the Facebook 'like' button + there are more Facebook users than Twitter users.

Yes, the favorite option is for people to save/bookmark a particular tweet.

I agree, it seems that the tweet gain more prominence when it retweeted.

Unfortunately I don't know a lot of active Twitter users in Mauritius because we are living on a Facebook Island.
