Facebook thinking about 'dislike' function
 

Facebook is thinking about adding a way to "dislike" posts on its site, founder Mark Zuckerberg has said.

Speaking at a Q&A session in California, he said it was one of the most requested features the social network receives from its users.

He said the site would need to find a way to make sure it did not become a way to demean people's posts.

According to Facebook's own figures, 4.5 billion "likes" are generated every day.

Earth shattering ingenuity, emphasis on shat.

they should only make 1 dislike button for the facebook homepage.

Facebook itself is a one big dislike

I've disliked and avoided Facebook since it began...

it seems more common for people in this industry

dislikes can be rude, they go against the friendly model of FB

yep, they're going to have to use 'like' :thumbsup and 'really like' :thumbsup:thumbsup

:1orglaugh

people who use facebook for their personal lives are narcissistic losers

Not necessarily narcissistic. ;)

a lot of posts in Facebook needs a :action-sm button

Don't use Facebook and your life will be private.

Hmm I don't think so... :) Dislike can be rude and that is opposite of the Facebook politic... :)

Add dislike button, it will burn some people lol

Only one button Facebook requires...

an easy way to keep in light contact with friends & family far and wide, is derided by people who post various shit on a message board for the attention of complete strangers...

Classic stuff :thumbsup

more like everyone seeing their share personal comments getting burned. better not facebook when drunk more

facebook has a lot of issues lately. on my personal account, i have to get through this identity confirmation just to retrieve my account. now they'll be adding another function. why they can't just fix first problems like a had before adding some features. just saying thou.

Not a "dislike" itself but something of the kind... So far I think they considered a "Hug" button in order to be able to show sympathy etc. but it would have weird meaning for business accounts.

wtf is facebook..

This is a bad idea as it will be abused, good luck finding a way to counter that.

I believe facebook got big cause of people's sheep mentality, I may be many things but im not a sheep.

I dont need facebook and many that "think" they need it, dont need it either.

The only good reason for facebook to exists is to connect with old friends or acquintances. The rest is pure garbage.

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

Maybe they're considering it as a countermeasure to the abuse of likes? ;)

the majority of people i know don't post status updates but use it to chat with their friends.

my first dislike would go to facebook.....
