Redesign Facebook Like Button Extra Quality

Facebook announced changes to their "Share" and "Like" buttons on Wednesday, the first time the "Like" button has been redesigned since its introduction in 2010. (Full disclosure: The Huffington Post was a launch partner on the redesign.)

While the aesthetic switch may seem minor, consider just how ubiquitous these buttons are across the Internet. Collectively, they are seen more than 22 billion times a day on more than 7.5 million websites, helping Facebook's referral traffic top that of all other social networks combined, according to a Shareaholic report. The redesigned logos get rid of the signature Facebook thumb for a pronounced blue color palette and the "F" Facebook logo.

Facebook has also made it easier for websites to include the Like and Share buttons side-by-side and says that it has seen an increase in the number of Likes and Shares throughout its testing of the redesign.

Facebook has removed the like button from its redesigned public pages used by artists, public figures and brands, the social media company said on Wednesday. This is a pretty big change and now it will instead focus more on the news feed for conversations, rather than highlighting the likes on FB pages.

A like button, like option, or recommend button, is a feature in communication software such as social networking services, Internet forums, news websites and blogs where the user can express that they like, enjoy or support certain content.[1] Internet services that feature like buttons usually display the number of users who liked each content, and may show a full or partial list of them. This is a quantitative alternative to other methods of expressing reaction to content, like writing a reply text. Some websites also include a dislike button, so the user can either vote in favor, against or neutrally. Other websites include more complex web content voting systems. For example, five stars or reaction buttons to show a wider range of emotion to the content.

Video sharing site Vimeo added a "like" button in November 2005.[2] Developer Andrew Pile describes it as an iteration of the "digg" button from the site Digg.com, saying "We liked the Digg concept, but we didn't want to call it 'Diggs,' so we came up with 'Likes'".[2]

The like button on FriendFeed was announced as a feature on October 30, 2007 and was popularized within that community.[3] Later the feature was integrated into Facebook before FriendFeed was acquired by Facebook on August 10, 2009.[4]

The Facebook like button is designed as a hand giving "thumbs up". It was originally discussed to have been a star or a plus sign, and during development the feature was referred to as "awesome" instead of "like".[citation needed] It was introduced on 9 February 2009.[5] In February 2016, Facebook introduced reactions - a new way to express peoples emotions to Facebook posts. Some reactions included "Love", "Haha", "Wow", "Sad", or "Angry".

In 2010, as part of a wider redesign of the service, YouTube switched from a star-based rating system to Like/Dislike buttons. Under the previous system, users could rate videos on a scale from 1 to 5 stars; YouTube staff argued that this change reflected common usage of the system, as 2-, 3-, and 4-star ratings were not used as often.[8][9] In 2012, YouTube briefly experimented with replacing the Like and Dislike buttons with a Google+ +1 button.[10]

In 2019, after the backlash from YouTube Rewind 2018, YouTube began considering options to combat "dislike mobs," including an option to completely remove the dislike button.[11] The video is the most disliked video on YouTube, passing the music video for Justin Bieber's "Baby". On November 12, 2021, YouTube announced it will make dislike counts private, with only the content creator being able to view the number of dislikes on the back end, in what the company says is an effort to combat targeted dislike and harassment campaigns and encourage smaller content creators.[12]

Alongside "retweets", Twitter users could "favorite" posts made on the service, indicated by a gold star symbol (). In November 2015, to alleviate user confusion and put the function more in line with other social networks, the "favorite" function was renamed "like", and its button was changed from a star symbol to a heart ().[16]

VK like buttons for posts, comments, media and external sites operate in a different way from Facebook. Liked content doesn't get automatically pushed to the user's wall, but is saved in the (private) Favorites section instead.

The Instagram like button is indicated by a heart symbol. In addition to tapping the heart symbol on a post, users can double tap an image to "like" it. In May 2019, Instagram began tests wherein the number of likes on a user's post is hidden from other users.[17]

The TikTok like button is indicated by a heart symbol, and users can use the like button by double tapping on a post they like, similar to Instagram. Liked content can be accessed via the "Liked" tab on a user's profile.

XWiki, the application wiki and open source collaborative platform, added the « Like » button in version 12.7. This button allows users to like wiki pages. It's possible to see all liked pages and the Like counter for each page.

Every major redesign such as this one requires some adjustment, and everyone will perceive the changes in their own way. However, there are some elements of this design that just don't seem well thought out. I'm no UI/UX expert, but having two columns of menu buttons on the left, right next to each other, feels like a clumsy, cluttered solution, with so many colorful icons fighting for your attention.

Facebook claims that with the redesign, users will be able to navigate through the app easier and more consistently. This entails a more prominent back button, the ability to view whose post you are engaging on, as well as to better view the link to be clicked, preventing click bait traps.

The new Facebook design reinforces the advocacy. The new design puts the Groups tab on the top of the page as a button. Clicking on it takes you to a newsfeed of updates from your groups, as well as recommendations for other groups you might like.

yay, now it's impossible to use the site! Before this redesign, I had no problems being able to view comments, change log, other files, etc for addons, but now they're just gone... Great job on the design, might wanna rethink it completely!Edit: I just wanna say I use noscript and adblock, could be noscript kicking in, but it's STUPID to require javascript for things like the above. Might want to look into non-intrusive javascript, they did awesome in the past on it.I'm having absolutely no issue browsing the new site with my NoScript on, and it could just be because I have had it whitelisted for a long time now. Almost every webpage out there uses Javascript in some form; the main thing with using NoScript is to simply whitelist the javascripts on sites as you browse them, and you will never have an issue again. And it's not really all that inconvenient...

"The redesign is a welcome development as Facebook was beginning to look a little dated. The screenshots show some big aesthetic changes. Instead of a single feed when a user logs in, the change will see multiple feeds dividing content by several categories, including music and photos. All in all, this will likely encourage users to stay on the site longer," says Pouros.

Google Inc. has been described as functional, powerful, scary, speedy and fun. But beautiful? Hardly ever. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); }); New CEO Larry Page is trying to change all that, cribbing a note from one of his business role models and competitors, the late Steve Jobs and Apple Inc. Almost immediately after becoming CEO in April, Page ordered a redesign of Google's online properties, attempting to create a unified look and feel that would proclaim "Google," just as the aesthetic character of Apple products renders them instantly recognizable. The universal redesign is the first in the company's 13-year history. Google's new, less-cluttered look debuted with the Google+ social network at the end of June, and is now being phased in to Gmail, Calendar, Documents, Search and other Google sites across the company's online empire. While Google's plans for a wholesale face-lift were overshadowed by the hubbub over the launch of Google+, Page months before had set in motion a crash program by the company's user interface (UI) designers to remake the face of Google. "Larry likes things done fast, so he was like, 'Hey guys, can we completely transform Google's look and feel by the summer?' " said Jon Wiley, the company's lead user experience designer for search. "As designers, we kind of felt like we were the dog that had caught the car." With its geeky, data-driven identity, Google has rarely been lauded for its aesthetics. But with consumers flocking to Apple's iPhones and iPads, and with Facebook launching new products that emphasize look and feel as well as functionality, Google and other Internet companies are increasingly focused on appearance, as well as how they work. "It's really clear that consumers care about (design) now," said Khoi Vinh, former design director for The New York Times website, who is working on a startup connected to the iPad. "In an earlier age when tech was still rough and immature, you could win on technology alone. But now, tech is mature enough that people really value and look for the best possible design. It's why Apple sold 4 million iPhone 4S's" its first weekend on sale. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Interactive design students in programs like New York's School of Visual Arts have become targets for Silicon Valley recruiters, with companies like Apple, Yelp, Twitter, Facebook and Google making job offers to recent graduates, said Liz Danzico, chairwoman of the school's MFA interactive design program Her students are in demand because tech companies are realizing that design "can be a differentiator for users," Danzico said. Facebook made waves in design circles in April when it bought Daytum, a startup for collecting personal statistics and sharing them through striking digital graphics, bringing its principals Nicholas Felton and Ryan Case to Silicon Valley from New York to work on its upcoming Timeline feature. Facebook touted the acquisition at its annual developer conference this year, and Vinh said other tech startups, like Groupon, Airbnb and Pinterest have raised the bar for online aesthetics. Page "cares passionately about great design," and believes a common "design language" could unify Google's array of online products, Wiley said. Google appears close to launching its new look and feel for its popular Gmail product. A video on how the new design will work with Google's email service popped up this week, and the company didn't deny its authenticity. "Oops, you weren't supposed to see that. Stay tuned, we'll be sharing more info on Gmail's new look soon," Google said in a statement from a spokeswoman. The redesign includes new shapes for buttons; the hiding of many controls until they're needed, resulting in a cleaner look; consistency of appearance across desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones; and a "color language" where bolder reds, blues and greens all have specific meanings. Even the search homepage - a product whose aesthetic minimalism has been praised in the past - got a revamp, with a smaller Google logo. Google's face-lift has drawn praise from design experts, although the consensus remains that the company hasn't matched Apple. On his blog, Vinh called the update "less beholden to the brutally analytical decision-making that has guided Google product design and aesthetics in the past." In an interview, he called the Google redesign changes "competent," and "professional," but said there was room for improvement: "I don't think any of them are as much of a 'wow' moment as what you would get from Apple, which is one of their main competitors." Page tried to drum up some attention recently, bringing up the changes during Google's quarterly earnings call with Wall Street analysts, as he talked about how Google+ is intended to be a model for the rest of Google. "Our ultimate ambition is to transform the overall Google experience, making it beautifully simple, almost automagical, as we understand what you want and can deliver it instantly," Page said. "Think about it this way: Last quarter, we shipped the '+,' and now we're going to ship the Google part," Page told analysts. "The new visual design - beautiful, consistent UIs for Search, News, Maps, Translate and lots of other features - is only the beginning of that process." Wiley, a former improvisational comedian who once hoped for a career on "Saturday Night Live" before discovering the World Wide Web in the mid-1990s, said removing "clutter" is one of the biggest thrusts for the redesign. Google has always been colorful, he said, but its use of color has not always been effective. Color "is additional information for the eye; it creates a lot of visual information. That can start to actually get in the way of the content. What we wanted to do was be sure there was a focus on the content." In the new Google design, a bolder red is a cue the user is about to create something, such as a new spreadsheet. Blue is the color of action, meaning "do it; go for it; make it happen," Wiley said. Green is the color of sharing. There are fewer visible controls. In Google Docs, for example, the buttons to organize or delete a spreadsheet are hidden until you click on the file. And the buttons are designed to work for touch screens as well as mouse-driven clicks. Wiley said the personality and culture of a company should translate into the feel and function of its products. "Yeah, we are creating a language for Google," he said. "We are trying to tell a story with the design that is reflective of Google's character and personality, the things that make Google, Google. It's kind of hard to describe in words." --- GOOGLE MAKEOVER: Google is creating a unified look and feel for its online products. Among the changes: -A less cluttered look: In Google Docs, many controls are hidden until a user clicks on a file and activates them. The page has more open space. -New "color language": Red is the color of creation. In this case, you click the red button to create a document or spreadsheet. -Buttons: Have a new shape and texture, and pop up slightly when you hover over them.
