Today we're launching a test of Reactions -- a more expressive Like button. The Like button has been a part of Facebook for a long time. Billions of Likes are made every day, and Liking things is a simple way to express yourself.For many years though, people have asked us to add a "dislike" button. Not every moment is a good moment, and sometimes you just want a way to express empathy. These are important moments where you need the power to share more than ever, and a Like might not be the best way to express yourself.At a recent Townhall Q&A, I shared with our community that we've spent a lot of time thinking about the best way to give you better options for expressing yourself, while keeping the experience simple and respectful. Today we're starting to test this.Reactions gives you new ways to express love, awe, humor and sadness. It's not a dislike button, but it does give you the power to easily express sorrow and empathy -- in addition to delight and warmth. You’ll be able to express these reactions by long pressing or hovering over the Like button. We’re starting to test Reactions in Ireland and Spain and will learn from this before we bring the experience to everyone. We hope you like this – or can better express how you’re feeling!

페이스북이 "반응 Reactions" 시스템을 오늘부터 시험한다.
CEO 마크 저커버그는 이 사실을 자신의 페이스북을 통해 밝혔다. "반응을 통해 사용자들은 사랑, 경외심, 유머, 슬픔 등을 표현할 수 있게 됩니다. 이건 싫어요 버튼이 아니지만, 슬픔이나 동정의 감정도 표현할 수 있습니다." 저커버그는 먼저 스페인과 아일랜드에서 테스트를 시작하고, 이를 전세계로 확대할 예정이라고 밝혔다.
저커버그는 지난달 중순에 타운홀 Q&A를 통해 페북에 좋아요 말고도 다양한 감정을 표한할 수 있는 방법을 거의 다 고안해냈다고 밝혔었다.
