You can now do more than just LIKE something on Facebook.

The lone “thumbs up” icon is now joined by five other EMOJI’s.  EMOJI’s are emotional icons.

So now at the bottom of every post on Facebook, people can select one of six icons to express how they feel, sharing a wider range of reactions to a Facebook post.

Initially Facebook was only going to add a DISLIKE button.  So the options would be “LIKE” and “DISLIKE”, but after researching the idea they found it wasn’t going to add much value and the DISLIKE button would make personal and business bullying easier, something social media services are always working hard to combat.
