Facebook Now Offering "Dislike Button"

After years of urging from users on the popular social network, Facebook will roll out its new “Dislike” button next week for text, photo and video posts.The latest in a series of rogue Facebook application scams has been circulating the social networking site this week that claim to allow Facebook users to enable a Facebook Dislike button. This scam is almost identical to previous scams in how it spreads across the site.


Soon, Facebookers can express their immediate dissatisfaction with a post as quickly as their enjoyment. According to social media specialist Andre Slater, this move is a game-changer.

Rumors about the feature have been stirring for years, but most posts on the website promising the button have been fake or, even worse, have led to a virus. Facebook PR staffers have confirmed that this feature is indeed real, and coming to the site next week.
Like the new “Timeline” feature, users will have time to “opt in” to having the button as a choice on their profiles before it will ultimately be integrated regardless of preference. Some users, who presumably will be chosen at random, will also have the opportunity to test the button within the next few days.
