Facebook Installs New “Like” Options for Users

Facebook users can now express more opinions than “like” about other people’s posts.

FOX’s Chris Foster reports:

Facebook is adding choices besides the “like” button:

(Zhuo) “Now you can react using different expressions and emotions to the stories that you read in your newsfeed.”

Facebook product design director Julie Zhuo, announcing a feature called “reactions,” letting users also click love, sad, angry, ha-ha, or “wow” in response to something:

(Zhuo) “People have been telling that they’ve been wanting a more expressive way to respond to the post that they see.”

So say somebody posts about someone dying, there’s a way to acknowledge that other than “like”:

(Zhuo) “Just having a single like button didn’t let people express the whole range of human emotions that you normally would express when somebody is telling you something.”
