I was so excited to see that Facebook had decided that the “like” button was too limiting to express the proper sentiment we might have about any given post.
Today they have added a variety of reactions to assist us in expressing ourselves. I scanned through the available options:

- Love
- Haha
- Wow
- Sad
- Angry.
My first reaction was BOOOOO. Because that’s what’s obviously missing – No “Boo” or “Hiss”. No “Thumbs Down”? No “Bronx Cheer”? Not even a friendly “Raspberry”?

I agree with you Rhys, who decided on these emojis anyway? They certainly don’t even begin to register my range of emotions over the things I posted on Facebook.

Maybe their next generation will be better for all of us.
Thanks for this fun post!
