Facebook to add 'sympathize' button?

Developers experimenting with a new button to show support

ORLANDO, Fla. –  Facebook is considering a new change in deciding whether to "like" a post or not.

Users have talked about having a "dislike" button for Facebook statuses. But developers recently said that they are testing a new "sympathize" button instead, according to a report.
 
The "sympathize" button would allow your friends to show support without having to "like" something.
