Facebook recrafts 'like' button with Reactions, complete with an angry face

People will now be able to use a variety of faces and a heart - named Love, Haha, Wow, Sad or Angry - on friends' posts, but not comments

Users no longer have to take the time and effort to write "dislike" on Facebook posts about firings and deceased pets: the company now provides a selection of expressive images christened Reactions to use for a wider variety of occasions than simply hitting "like".

The faces and a heart have names: Love, Haha, Wow, Sad or Angry. A video explaining the concept in greater depth was posted to Facebook's blog on Wednesday morning. Users simply hover a cursor or hold down a finger over the traditional upturned thumb and the new selection pops up.
