You 'Like'? Facebook's New Reaction Buttons Are Here

Facebook Reaction Buttons
"Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes!"
Those "Reaction" buttons Facebook was testing out? They're finally here for everyone.
Now you can do more than just "Like" your friends' posts.
The "Like" button is still available on Facebook posts, but you also have five new emoji reactions, too: "Love," "Haha," "Wow," "Sad," and "Angry."

Instead of just liking and commenting, users have a little more wiggle room to tell people what they really think about the statuses, photos, and links shared on the social media site.
It will be interesting to see which of these new emojis describes how Facebook users at large feel about the big update.
Do you "Love" it, or are you "Angry" that there's a new thing to get used to?
The new reaction buttons launched today and will roll out across all platforms over the next few days, according to Today.
Rather than just adding a "Dislike" button, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg explained back in October why the site planned to offer several "reactions."
"Not every moment is a good moment, and sometimes you just want a way to express empathy," he wrote... (in a Facebook post, naturally.)
"Reactions gives you new ways to express love, awe, humor and sadness."
Finally, we have a way to express our thoughts when we're watching awful music videos.
