Facebook About To Add 'Sympathize' Button, Also Plans For Adding 'Dislike'

So it is!! facebook has finally decided to bring in a new button to its otherwise 'complete' set of social emotions. The sympathize button is about to be launched and the facebook spokesman has mentioned Huffington Post that this is happening soon.

It was only until recent hackathon by facebook that this idea was developed. Most of the media and bloggers are still in a shock with this announcement but it will make sense as of any earlier facebook changes. They hated the timeline when it arrived and now its a must and a better way to go through your friends history.

We all agree to the fact that adding a 'like' for a sad news doesn't feel appropriate. Although many feel that when you like a sad post you are actually supporting the person who made the post and giving him a hand in his grief. So from now on you dont need to add in the like count, instead whenever the sad news is broken out, the like button will be replaced by the sympathize button - atleast this is what we are reading from valid sources.

However stupid it sounds, the sympathize button has already created the roar and it is gathering much attention than usual. Also a good part is that there is plans for introducing a 'dislike' button, that should be a good one though.

However we will have to wait atleast till mid of next year to see any of these changes as facebook has clarified that this is very early stage to confirm any of the changes.
