Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg Didn’t “Like” an “Awesome” Idea

Imagine on Facebook instead of clicking on a button for something you “like” you click on a button for something you think is “awesome.”

Facebook's Director of Engineering Andrew Bosworth that it was an “awesome” idea, but founder Mark Zuckerberg didn’t “like” it.  Read more about the decision here.

Instead of the "awesome" button being implemented it was the "like" button that hit Facebook in February 2009 after a couple years of testing and tinkering, according to Bosworth.

There’s controversy over the “like” button’s origin as rival FriendFeed’s website has a “like” feature as well.

No way Zuckerberg would ever steal an idea, right?
