Remember back when Facebook mentioned that they were considering a “dislike” button<\/a>? The Internet was both up in arms and ecstatic about the whole thing. “Yay! We’ll finally be able to express our contempt in a passive-agressive way!”
\nYou know who freaked out about all that? Brands.
\n\"\"
\nLet’s say that you’re a major company, like, say, Coca-Cola. You start seeing dislikes all over your posts because someone decided to spam you, or a wave of anti-soda people banned together to put a hurtin’ on your page. Now that wouldn’t be very nice, would it?
\nAnd you know who pays Facebook’s bills? Brands. You know, advertisers and the like.
\n\"\"
\nSo what Facebook is currently working on now according to Tech Crunch<\/a>, is a series of “reactions” that you can place instead of just pushing “like.” It’s a pretty genius way of going about things, even if it isn’t quite what everyone expected\/wanted.
\nDesigner Tobia Crivellari recreated these Emojis in a free Sketch file. Download it over at Dribbble<\/a> and take a closer look at the reactions you’ll soon be using.
