“Dislike” Button is Here: Facebook Adding 6 Reaction Emoji to Like Button


Back at Facebook’s Town Hall public Q&A session, CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed that the social network is working on some way to introduce the dislike button on Facebook. Later, it was confirmed that Facebook is working on some kind of “Empathy” button as a Dislike button would be too negative.

Today, Facebook offered a glimpse at how the like button on Facebook is about to change. The social networking website is preparing the launch of “Reactions” – a feature that will add 6 empathetic emoji to the lonely ‘”like” button.

According to some sources, Facebook will be testing the feature in Spain and Ireland as soon as the next couple of days.


The six emoji that will be added alongside the like button are: Love, Haha, Yay, Wow, Sad and Angry. Which one’s your favorite? Tell us on our Facebook page 😉

Back at the public Q&A session, Zuckerberg said, “What [people] really want is the ability to express empathy. Not every moment is a good moment. We have an idea that we’re going to be ready to test soon, and depending on how that does, we’ll roll it out more broadly.”

With the new Reactions feature, Facebook is now eyeing the fact that people have a variety of emotions that they wish to express on Facebook. This set of emoji will be coming very soon to your Facebook account. [1]

Never-Before-Seen Photos Emerge From Inside White House During 9/11

Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, never-before-seen photos from inside the White House during the 9/11 attacks have been released. The photos, reportedly captured by a staff photographer, document the reactions of then President, George Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney as they watch the horrific incident unfold on live television on September 11, 2001. The majority of the photos were taken in the secure basement of the White House, where Secret Service agents frog-marched top government officials following reports that more attacks were a possibility. In the photos, President Bush looks tense as he converses with top officials in the President’s Emergency Operations Center (PEOC), a highly-secure bunker situated below the East Wing, which can withstand nuclear hits and ‘other devastating attacks’. Other senior government officials also feature in the photographs, including National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, CIA Director George Tenet, Dick Cheney’s law...

How India Changed My Life: It Is All About Experiences We Have

How India changed my life “In 2004, when I was at one of the lowest points of my life, I decided to go to India. I had never visited India; I’d never even been on a long-term trip. I was emotionally fragile, and at 45, I was at an age when more rational people would be thinking mostly about settling down and playing it safe. But I knew I had to go. I was trying to recover from a deeply entrenched depression brought on by a series of devastating losses, including both my parents, and the only thing that had helped was yoga. Three classes a week eventually turned into teacher training, which lead to a desire – a compulsion almost – to visit the country where yoga was born. It felt like my life depended on it. Though irrational and counter-intuitive, it’s still the best thing I have ever done. But it required some planning. I sold about one-third of my belongings, moved out of my apartment and into a small sublet, temporarily gave my cat to a friend and saved as much money as ...
