Button, Mark Zuckerberg Confirms - Yahoo Tech
The world media carried out an
intense debate about this 'dislike button' by Facebook, a development that is
nothing but a delayed move by the social media giant - the largest social media
platform by user base.
The social media platform that
has remained there in spite of stiff challenges from challengers including from
Google - it is in fact the only social media website in its category with a
global presence. The most talked about challenger, 'Google Plus' is going to
close its shop. Earlier, Orkut had also failed Google.
Also Facebook supports different
media upload platforms. Other famous social media platforms are platform specific
- like YouTube and other similar sites for video content - like Wordpress,
Blogger, Tumblr, Medium or others for 'blog content' - like Twitter, Weibo and
others for 'microblogging content'.
Basically,
every social media website is a content sharing platform - in any form - with
any possible content as per the norms - but Facebook provides, in a way, to
share all of them in one place - and has evolved over the years - based on consumer
feedbacks - and loads of 'algorithms' insight into them.
Today, Facebook
has around one billion users spread in different countries. And in spite of the
site growing commercial with time, its role in mass protest movements like Arab
Spring or Occupy Wall Street or even in anti-corruption movement back home is
well known. In fact, the self-propelled social concerns (by users) provide
global sanctity to platforms like Facebook. In fact, they help these
organization in covering their 'omnipresent' commercial streak.
Anyway, what
Mark Zuckerberg 'announced' was nothing new - and certainly not for generating
intense analytical buzz over different 'contours and aspects' of the 'proposed
or upcoming' Facebook 'dislike' button.
In fact, the
massive global buzz around his 'question and answer' session has once again
proved the marvel of 'sleek communication campaign' that kick off spontaneously
after every such development - in case of products reaching masses globally.
People started
writing about it because so many people use Facebook. The writers were trying
to speak on their behalf, even if a 'like' or 'dislike' button doesn't do much
beyond some case studies of anaemic effects of social media on people.
Well, the actual debate has to be
- do we really need debates of this sort - like Facebook introducing an
addition to elements of its site, here with a 'dislike' button?
