It all started because of the constant requests of a \u2018dislike\u2019 button.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">Mark Zuckerberg clearly stated that they wouldn\u2019t want to adopt a \u2018dislike\u2019 button because it may stem negative feelings \u2014 which isn\u2019t something Facebook wants its platform associated with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">So, they started testing.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">And now, after months and months of testing, they have finally released Facebook Reactions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">It is not entirely a new feature, as it is basically built on the existing premise of the Facebook \u2018like\u2019 button. But it is going to be a completely different way to express your emotions now on Facebook with so many different options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">Here, take a look.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><a href=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Facebook-Reactions-Emojis.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5493\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5493\" src=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Facebook-Reactions-Emojis.png\" alt=\"Facebook Reactions Emojis\" width=\"505\" height=\"284\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, you now have more than just the \u2018like\u2019 option. In fact, you have six different emotions that you can use to express what you feel about a certain update:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Like<\/li>\n<li>Love<\/li>\n<li>Haha<\/li>\n<li>Wow<\/li>\n<li>Sad<\/li>\n<li>Angry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It seems, without any doubt, a more well-rounded feature that allows users to express different emotions.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, people would only \u2018like\u2019 the post to show their support \u2014 even for tragic news, such as a natural calamity or a terrorist attack. A lot of Facebook users weren\u2019t comfortable \u2018liking\u2019 such news to show their support, and it wasn\u2019t a true reflection of their sentiments and emotions.<\/p>\n<p>Now, they don\u2019t have to, as they have 6 different emotions to express what they feel.<\/p>\n<h2>What It Means for Brands and Businesses<\/h2>\n<p>We can be sure for at least one thing.<\/p>\n<p>It will change the way Facebook users interact with online brands and businesses. Let\u2019s see a few ways this feature will affect the interaction:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Now that Facebook users will be communicating with 6 different emotions, online brands, businesses, and marketers can have a better understanding how their audience feel about their content.<\/li>\n<li>For instance, if most of your users are using the \u2018haha\u2019 reaction, you can assume that they find your content amusing. With the previous model, you couldn\u2019t gauge that.<\/li>\n<li>As there are more ways to convey your emotions and expressions, we suspect that online businesses will now experience fewer comments on their posts. The new Facebook Reactions feature will eliminate the need for basic comments, such as \u201cLOVE IT!\u201d or \u201cHaha. That was funny!\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>But lower comments won\u2019t necessarily mean lower engagement with your audience.<\/li>\n<li>With so many different emotions, brands will be now able to understand their customer more profoundly.<\/li>\n<li>Last, but not the least, these new features may eventually play an important role in the Facebook newsfeed algorithm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to Richard Sim, Facebook\u2019s director of monetization product marketing:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOver time we do expect to have a better understanding of how these different Reactions impact what people may want to see in their newsfeed. So it\u2019s very possible that \u2018loves\u2019 or \u2018hahas\u2019 may be treated differently. We are going to learn this as we\u2019re going through testing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, for now, let\u2019s keep our fingers crossed and enjoy these new Facebook reactions. I can recall a lot of posts I wanted to be angry at! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There has been speculations over the past few years that Facebook was going to revamp its like button.
