Open thread: What feature would you like to see on Facebook?

A Want feature? A Dislike button? Join the discussion on what Facebook SHOULD be doing…

IT HAS EMERGED that Facebook may be testing out a new feature – a ‘Want’ button that would apparently allow users to share wishlists.

The social network, which now caters to more than half of the population in Ireland, has frequently added new developments. Recent changes include the Timeline system, and the purchase of image-sharing site Instagram.

But what would you like to see? A Dislike button? A different news feed?

Over to you in the comments…

    Was there once. Didn’t like it much though, the atmosphere wasn’t great.

    @Steve Smith: Yes, eating chocolate bars doesn’t make you know who invented them. But I didn’t always understand this, I remember telling my parents I didn’t understand why the kid who lived right next to the school wasn’t a genius, like information should leak out of the school and into his brain.
