Sabe o joinha que, vira e mexe, damos no Facebook? Esqueça ele. Chris Cox, gerente de produto do Facebook, divulgou na manhã desta quinta-feira uma nova feature: seis emoji de expressões. Segundo Chris, as carinhas com sentimentos são mais elegantes e divertidas do que o botão de ‘dislike’. Por enquanto a Irlanda e a Espanha foram os primeiros países a receber a atualização e dentro de alguns dias todos os usuários da rede social poderão distribuir sorrisos e carinhas pela timeline. Quem mais aí curtiu essa novidade?
Today we’re launching a pilot test of Reactions — a more expressive Like button. As you can see, it’s not a “dislike” button, though we hope it addresses the spirit of this request more broadly. We studied which comments and reactions are most commonly and universally expressed across Facebook, then worked to design an experience around them that was elegant and fun. Starting today Ireland and Spain can start loving, wow-ing, or expressing sympathy to posts on Facebook by hovering or long-pressing the Like button wherever they see it. We’ll use the feedback from this to improve the feature and hope to roll it out to everyone soon.
