Apparently our good friends at Mashable were aware of this over a month ago, but I just found out about it today so I'm sharing it with you. There is a "Facebook Dislike" Add-on for Firefox! Apprisal: Your Facebook friends must also have the Add-on installed in order to participate and view your dislikes.I know my friends have been itching for one for months now, so I'm spreading the word in hopes that we can all have a little (good-natured!) fun with it. :D Enjoy!
[ETA by "disliking" the dislike button in my screen shot , I was only testing the feature to display how it will appear upon employment. I did not mean to indicate actual dislike, disgust, or general apathy of any kind.]
LOL. I guess you like disliking Facebook!

I mean disliking some of the posts in Facebook! :-O

Having experienced running a small online community, the dislike button would only create animosity among friends. In the online community that I help run, I tried added a "I don't like this post" feature but was eventually removed because of strong feedback from the members. I guess this is unnecessary on Facebook since there's already a way to hide comments from friends who post a lot of nonsense.

Hi, Gem! LOL - I would never use this in a mean-spirited manner. I think most want to use it for fun. Example:
ReplyDeleteUpdate: I won't be coming to the game this weekend as I am sick.
*dislikes ensue*
Update: Rosie O'Donnell is a bright, sexy woman.
*dislikes ensue*
Thanks for your input, DailyManila! Good to see you here.
ReplyDeleteI honestly can't see any of my Facebook friends using this to be mean. And if anyone does, it will expose them for the cruel guttersnipe that they are, allowing us to de-friend them. :)
OK, I'll add the dislike add-on so I can see what you dislike, haha. Hopefully, I won't see me there, ahem... What else are they going to come up with?

LOL!!!!! I think we can have fun with this.
ReplyDeleteHow about an ambivalent button?
Why can't Facebook ever make anything easy? Where's the "easy" button? Yesterday I accidentally hit some button on FB that translated everything into Spanish. I couldn't figure out how to get it back. But at least now I know how to say "What's on Your Mind?" "Write a Comment" and "Older Posts" in Spanish.
ReplyDeleteI guess that could be fun too, although I think it should be somewhat private.. don't you think, hahaha

LOL! You were totally cracking me up on Facebook yesterday, Julia. Please tell me you're doing an, "I Facebooked in Spanish so you don't have to" post lol
ReplyDeleteUhh... I'm ambivalent about that. :P
ReplyDeleteWell, the fact that your friends must also have the dislike button to view your dislikes is somewhat off-putting. I can see however how the add-on would be fun to play around with in good spirit of course!

What luck! It's Jay Zuck! (Sooo sorry.) I know, it's a pain. But I know most of my active Facebook friends will get it because they've been starting groups asking for it. It's not "the real deal", but it's something new to explore. :)
ReplyDeletethe cruel guttersnipe
ReplyDeleteI have been striving to become a cruel guttersnipe as it is a step up from where I have been. But then again I rather enjoy being a curmudgeon so being a cruel guttersnipe could be construed as as compliment. ;)

I'm totally on board with that. Friend me!
ReplyDeleteAny man who would write a post entitled "Cookiegate" is obviously an instrument of Satan.
I heard this before but reading the comments here gave me an idea, install it now! Thank you for the information. :)

Wow, this is cool button, have the guts though to know who clicked they disliked you, :D
ReplyDelete.-= elmot´s last blog ..A Meaningful Existence for Filipinos =-.
Hmmmm - so could I apply this to the entire FB site? Since I still can't navigate that site to save my life and I pretty much avoid it like the plague. I know, I know ... I'm a loser.

Oh no - what are you up to??
ReplyDeleteIt's another tool in the arsenal of the truth! If people are going to be mean I'd rather see them exposed so I can defriend them and their guttersnipian ways and round them all up on Blue Meanie Island. I can only see it used for humor, though.
ReplyDeleteAndy, you are the perfect example of the genius who was befuddled by the toaster! And you are most certainly NOT a loser. (Love the name of your recent post.)
ReplyDeleteDislike - is , ummm , a negative ..but a necessary word. I like farmville , but i dislike repetitive plowing to earn for my villa..lol...

ReplyDeleteThanks! Wait, no... oops, Thanks! lol
ReplyDeleteYesterday was the day of the dislike button promotion [or was that two days ago?}. I joined and installed and am now like a kid with a new toy, but no use for it at the moment. I was going to dislike myself, but thought that might send the wrong message. Oh, dang you dislike button! How you mock me so!!! {shakes fists in the air} ;)

They should have that already on facebook next to the "like" link. I have a lot of friends who like to post while drunk! LOL I'd be using that dislike button a lot!
