Facebook "Dislike" Rumour Confirmed

Facebook "Dislike" Button Rumours Confirmed
TechCrunch (a fairly reputable/reliable AOL property) today confirmed the long-lasting myth of an internal debate amongst Facebook employees: wether or not to introduce a "Dislike" button. Original article can be read here (but tbh there's quite a few words used to say very little).

The crux of the debate is thus:

Whilst Facebook has the potential to gain greatly from a "Dislike" button (the Like button is responsible for a reasonable portion of FB's revenue, adding an additional button would more than likely increase this revenue ahead of this years IPO) many within the company are questioning the ethicality of promoting "Dislike".

What are your thoughts on this topic NG?

I dislike this.

[XenonMonkey]

Funny that it's posted on April Fool's day.

A dislike button would be an awesome addition, but I do agree with their standpoint that it takes away from the aspect of "Social Networking." I myself would prefer having a dislike button, I mean, youtube did it.

[BrainlessDan]

[SneakyGameBoy]

That's not good enough...

Ya, if you look closely at the tags the whole "news article where theres no real news" thing start to make a whole lot more sense.

[Sectus]

Wait, what the fuck just happened? My post was eleven minutes ago, and his was nine. If I posted earlier, why is his post before mine?

[Kofius]

[Ganon-Dorf]

Oh wow what a convincing article coincidentally written on the 1st of April!

[5ERGEI]

Watershake is a fuck.

Facebook is for chicks.

And the article is fake and gay.

I think they should implement it. I mean, if they're going to have a like button, they should have a dislike button too.

[Lionelion]

it would be a good idea. When i used to go on facebook, there was a ton of stuff i really wanted to dislike, but never could. This could change all that

[POTaTOS]

Too bad most users aren't going to have the guts to do it.
Well, except all of us.

[JBKalso]

The point of Facebook is mostly to share things you enjoy. There is nothing to gain from a dislike button but more trolls.

it would start to show the world where the shit is in the world that needs to be snuffed out

The chat is (or was) causing glitches in the bbs.

Facebook wishes to know who you dislike. Not only who you like. This button will enable it to create better psychological profiles about it's users.

finally time to dislike shit i dont care about like this
