Non-Official Facebook Dislike button

An extra feature with comment was added by facebook on February i.e. “Like”, there was and still is a deficiency of “Dislike” button on the same place, many of the users on facebook don’t like some thing linked on his wall, but he/she can’t express that he/she disliked the particular thing there except commenting. A non-official button of “dislike” is introduced by French developer Thomas Moquet who took matters into his own hands by creating a cute (albeit useless) Firefox extension that adds a dislike button to Facebook, letting users who have it installed mark things they don’t like.


In order to make the tool work, Moquet had to use his own servers, which keep track of every item that’s disliked as well as who clicked it. Any other Facebook users who have the extension installed can then see who disliked it right next to the usual like list.

The problem here is that, if Miquet servers go down, then user won’t be able to see dislike button on his interface, and also if the other person don’t have the plugin installed on his firefox, he too won’t be able to see, who disliked the comment.
