Facebook has finally surrendered to our demands and added a 'Dislike' button. They announced it yesterday at a public town hall meeting that was streamed online. Did you see it? I know you didn't, because we never knew about this nor do we care. It's football season!!

Zuckerberg said yesterday  "I think people have asked about the dislike button for many years. Today is a special day, because today is the day I can say we're working on it and shipping it." So we get a real button? Like, delivered to our houses in a brown box?? No?  Well, that stinks. However, he new 'Dislike' function will be available soon, but there's no official date.

But whenever they get around to adding it, it won't work like a voting system, where stuff that people like gets up-voted higher, and stuff that people dislike is down-voted and lower. So what's the point? Well Mark Zuckerberg said  "What users really want is the ability to express empathy. Not every moment is a good moment."

So in other words this a way to cut down or ridicule someone's opinions or annoying posts without actually having type a dissertation on why, while still showing who disliked something, so you can't just slam people anonymously, don't get too excited.
