Liking on Facebook is About to Get Interesting [VIDEO]

Forget the "like" button, that's so last year. Facebook says soon it's bringing in several emoticons you'll be able to use instead. (Thumb fans, don't despair, that's not going anywhere).

According to a post yesterday from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, he said,

"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."

Zuckerberg also said that the new reactions are not available to most Facebook users yet.

"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!"

Here's a look at some of the emoticon's you may be using soon:
