It looks like the Like button won't be alone on Facebook for long.
During a town hall meeting on Tuesday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that something like a Dislike button will be appearing on the social network soon, as a more realistic way of expressing a range of different emotions. (It's always been a conundrum: Do you Like a friend's status about losing her job to show you saw it, or skip the Like and just comment?)

Here are the buttons we really hope to see in the coming months.
Sympathy
We've talked about this one before.
Seriously?
Love
Like isn't strong enough sometimes.
TMI
Everyone has the over-sharer in her News Feed.
Anonymous Dislike
Getting your message across without consequence.
Translation?
They're called typos, people.
Meh
Sometimes, you just don't care.
Pics or it didn't happen
Why you always lying?
Humblebrag
You know who they are.
The last straw
A subtle way to let that guy know just why you unfriended him.
Enough band pictures
Please take a picture of something else.
Enough baby pictures
Please take a picture of something else.
Enough cat pictures
Please take a picture of something else.
Stop it, mom
Or I swear I'll unfriend you.
