Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, says that the company is considering ways in which they could implement a “Dislike” mechanism. At a recent event in California, he said that it’s one of the features most often requested by users, who have repeatedly said there should be a way to express dissatisfaction about posts.

A Like flag tells me quickly that maybe I ought to read this post. I don't even look at the karma points anymore because I already know whether I like a poster's style or not. OK, for newbies, it may be slightly useful, but a post with Likes is more specific and the Likes remain with that post. Karma points actually don't tell anything about that thread or the individual posts.
