FaceBook Starts Testing 'Reactions', An Extension of the Like Button [Video]

Posted October 8, 2015 at 4:54pm by iClarified
Facebook has announced that it's beginning to test Reactions, an extension of the Like button.

Chris Cox, Chief Production Officer at Facebook, describes the new 'button'.

As you can see, it’s not a “dislike” button, though we hope it addresses the spirit of this request more broadly. We studied which comments and reactions are most commonly and universally expressed across Facebook, then worked to design an experience around them that was elegant and fun. Starting today Ireland and Spain can start loving, wow-ing, or expressing sympathy to posts on Facebook by hovering or long-pressing the Like button wherever they see it. We’ll use the feedback from this to improve the feature and hope to roll it out to everyone soon.


During this test, Page owners will be able to see Reactions to all of their posts on Page insights. Reactions will have the same impact on ad delivery as Likes do.

Check out the video below to see Reactions in action and please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

I just wish everyone would quit using it for a YouTube portal! Post about your family and happenings and such. Quit using it to post what stupid viral video you just watched!

It's ok, you can admit that you have zero friends.
