Now when Facebook users are scrolling through their news feed they have options other than just “liking” a post. If they simply hold down the like button there are 6 options, the traditional like, love, haha, wow, sad, and angry. This can be both good and bad for companies who use Facebook to communicate with their customers.
The Bad News
Let’s start with the bad news, because it’s pretty obvious. People can now say that one of your posts makes them sad or angry. Depending on the post, this could be good or bad, but more than likely it is not a good thing. The easiest way to avoid this as a company? Avoid posting controversial articles or statuses.
The Great News

This makes it easier to really transform your Facebook page to fit the needs and wants of your followers.
