Sam, Are you asking if the star itself as a shape is a recognizable pattern to connote favorites? Or if the act of making something a favorite is expected functionality in browsers, email, etc? Yes to both.
Aside from loving the ability to 'star' articles and links on twitter to read at a later date, the star shape happily reminds me of the metallic stickers employed in my childhood on chore charts and lapels to reward good behavior and tasks accomplished. Interesting to note: Now if I follow up with my chores (reading, writing email), I get to remove the star.
