Facebook announced this week that they will be adding a "dislike button" in the new update. So any thoughts on this?

Well, I have one.

This button is going to filter Facebook users from what they post. What I mean by that is Facebook users will be more conscious of what they post. Users on Facebook currently don't have a direct way to receive criticism. Yes, someone may post a comment saying they don't like a post but that can be easily be delete by the user of the original post. A dislike button will be a way to show direct negative feedback.

Honestly, I like this idea. I like the fact many of the posts on Facebook will have a little more thought into them. A little more thought involved in the posting process will probably (hopefully) go a long way.

Facebook post need to have thought. If the post is not thoughtful and somewhat important what is the point of even posting it? No point at all. The audience won't react. Reaction is key.

Everyone wants a reaction from something and on social media is even better. People love to hide behind a computer screen. Another way to hide behind that screen? The dislike button.

Many people will hate the idea of having this button. It's going to show that someone really doesn't like you. But the user can delete that friend thats being a jerk and disliking everything.

All in all, Facebook is adding a dislike button and if you don't like it... Oh well.
