Is Facebook Dislike a good or bad idea?
"We all have friends that post inane or annoying comments, photos, or videos on Facebook. Sure, we can hide their content, but more and more Facebookers are looking for a dislike option to visually show their disapproval.
Some Threadsy members can dislike Facebook (Facebook) items from within that dashboard, but we’ve found something even better suited to displaying your dislike: the Facebook Dislike Firefox plugin.
After you install the experimental plugin, you’ll notice that every item in your Facebook News Feed has an easily accessible “Dislike” option sandwiched in between the “Like” and “Similar Posts” options. Once you indicate your less than favorable reaction, a thumbs down icon will appear under the post that ostentatiously calls out your dislike, with your name attached, for your Facebook friends to see (with the major caveat that they also need to have the plugin installed).
The plugin works as promised, and from within the Facebook site, which makes it a more desirable option than Threadsy’s solution to. We think it’s a tad harsh, but when there’s demand, there’s typically a developer happy to build a solution. We just hope you use the dislike button with caution, otherwise you might find yourself with fewer Facebook friends."
My question to you:
Will you install this Firefox plug-in? Do you think it's a good or bad idea?

I find this concept rather silly. I wonder how many actual posts that people really need a option for a thumb of opposition to? I would rather see facebook try to quit buggering up their UI and stop chasing Twitter.

So many times I've wanted a button like this.

wll I personally need a ''dislike'' button on facebook and I'm gonna use it for the facebook suggestions on my home page. The site is basically suggesting to become friends with people I have absolutely no mutual friends with and even suggesting me to poke someone or send a msg to someone or write on someone's wall! what is that? is facebook taking over our social life and telling us to become more ''involved'' in the social scene! lol! i need a dislike button asap! :)

i think its a great idea. i mean, perhaps it is a silly concept. but if i can "like" something, i better be able to "dislike" as well!
