Facebook will add a "dislike" button to its social network.
Founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg has said in a Q & A session held at Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park, California that the button would be a way for people to express empathy.
He said Facebook which recently cracked the 1 billion daily users mark is very close to having it ready for user testing.
A "dislike" button has been constantly requested by some users since the introduction of the now‑iconic "like" button in 2009.
However he went on to say he did not want it to be a mechanism with which people could "down vote" others' posts.
Instead, it will be for times when clicking "like" on "sad" posts felt insensitive.
