Facebook is about to expand the range of emotions that people may experience in relation to publications, in addition to the traditional “taste”. The social network will introduce new buttons to express reactions.
Love, fun, surprise, sadness and anger are some of the new feelings that will be able to be expressed by users of Facebook.
Within weeks of Mark Zuckerberg have revealed that social networking was working on other alternatives to the button “taste” comes the news, which should begin to be tested on Friday.
However, there will be a button to “do not like”, as many claimed so far.
With the new feature, users will be able to choose one of several emotions, simply carrying fixedly on the “taste”. Then will emerge seven icons, similar to emoji, to express the user’s reaction.
“People come to Facebook to share all kinds of things – that reveal happiness, sadness, fun or cause reactions,” said a spokesman the social network. “And we heard they wanted more ways to celebrate, mourn or laugh together. That’s why we test ‘reactions’, an extension button ‘like’, so you give more ways to share your reactions to a publication on Facebook quickly and easily. “
However, the founder of Facebook has already put aside the idea of a button to” do not like “. The closest emotion is the icon with a angry red face, expressing anger.
“I just wanted to create a button ‘do not like’ because we do not want Facebook to become a forum where people are vote for or against the other publications. This does not seem the kind of community we want to create. “
