Share Feelings on Facebook
- FreshCode 13y agoSo apparently this is old news, but I only noticed it for the first time this morning.
- andyhmltn 13y agoIt rolled out slowly I think. A few people I know didn't have it until very recently.
- Udo 13y agoWhat's the point of this? Besides the fact that you can type this in way quicker than the time it takes to select those options through the UI, it's another mechanism that devalues the average post content. I think we could simplify this by replacing the entire post mechanism with a smiley button that you can click on, say every full hour, to let the world know you still exist. ;)
- quarterto 13y agoThe point for Facebook is that it's machine-readable targeting data without having to do NLP. The point for users is it's a way of providing context out-of-band. It definitely adds value to posts for Facebook.
- DividesByZero 13y agoWhen I saw this I was confused about why Facebook wanted to be more like LiveJournal. Is that a reflection on the userbase?
- Shish2k 13y agoLivejournal added it to make it easier for depressed people to be found by each other. Facebook added it to make it easier for depressed people to be found by drug companies.
- DividesByZero 13y agoI don't recall LJ having anything like a 'search by mood'. I guess my memory might be hazy though.
- Shish2k 13y agoNo search, but when randomly browsing around you can see mood at a glance
- namenotrequired 13y agoA similar feature has been available on other websites for many years such as livejournal (from what I heard at least, I haven't used it). Now that I see how it works on facebook, it strongly reminds me of journals on deviantART, it seems to ask the exact same questions.
- mahmoudhossam 13y agoMySpace had this in 2007.
- andridk 13y agoIt's a sign!
- ohwp 13y agoThey should use this for "likes". Death of a celebrity? 50000 people feel sad, 2000 people feel happy. I think that would be much more appropriate than 52000 likes.
- intellection 13y agoVoting with emotion. Psychotechnological (r)evolution, showing real human potential and portends. One vote has more meaning. Sharing raw feelings is a good sign, and language evolving, to really represent our system and society of mind and machinery, of emotionally diverse voting interest indication, with little technical difficulty.
