Facebook close to introducing dislike button

You’ve asked for it and now it’s almost here. Facebook is finally brining the “dislike” button to its social network. Mark Zuckerberg said the feature is close to shipping a test version of it. According to him, the thumbs down button won’t work the same way as Reddit’s down vote button. “That doesn’t seem like the kind of community that we want to create,” Zuckerberg said about Reddit. “You don’t want to go through the process of sharing some moment that was important to you in your day and have someone ‘downvote’ it.”

It took them a while to bring this feature because it was supposedly a “surprisingly complicated” feat for his engineers. He didn’t specify a definite release but the feature should be coming to the testers soon.
