Today, Facebook launched it’s new ‘reaction’ feature on the popular social media site.
Now, instead of giving a post a simple ‘like’, you can react to it.
To me it’s just one more extra way to be a little more stalkerish / creepy towards those and what they post on Facebook. On the other hand, at least now you have an option to let someone really know how you feel about their post. Another question lol… is there really a need for the comment section anymore?!
Mark Zuckerberg wrote this statement on his Facebook page:
Not every moment you want to share is happy. Sometimes you want to share something sad or frustrating. Our community has been asking for a dislike button for years, but not because people want to tell friends they don’t like their posts. People wanted to express empathy and make it comfortable to share a wider range of emotions.
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the right way to do this with our team. One of my goals was to make it as simple as pressing and holding the Like button.
The result is Reactions, which allow you to express love, laughter, surprise, sadness or anger.
Love is the most popular reaction so far, which feels about right to me!
