Facebook Getting a 'Dislike' Button   Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook will test alternatives to the 'like' button to allow users to express additional emotions. This is not a drill.     Facebook might be getting a "dislike" button , CEO Mark Zuckerberg said at a town hall meeting in the company's headquarters. According to Mashable, "Zuckerberg said the move would allow users to express emotion in a more realistic way, rather than just having one choice."
