Facebook Thinking of Adding A Dislike Button?
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has said that the social network is thinking about adding a "dislike" button to the site. He said this in a video post made on his page, adding that a dislike button would make sense for instances when users wanted to express themselves but didn't feel comfortable using the like button.
As an example, Zuckerberg said a dislike button might help users express themselves on a post about a sad event in someone's life. However, he admits it may not be a good idea because a dislike button could become a way for users to be shame others on the site.
What do you think, should there be a dislike button on Facebook?

@MadamFunky Admits Tweets Narrating Rape By Lagos Taxi Driver Were A Joke
@MadamFunky, a Twitter user who says she lives in both Nigeria and Canada, narrated how she was recently robbed and raped by a taxi driver in Lagos. Many were full of pity for her, but a few wondered at the hashtag of ubertaxi attached to most of the tweets.
By the end of the tweets which numbered one to 30, many people were incensed as they believed the rape story was a hoax, and simply part of an ad to sell uber services in Lagos.

Pope Francis Says Animals Go To Heaven Too - True Or False
Over the past couple of days, Pope Francis has again become the focus of the religious conservatives after saying animals also go to heaven. The last time Pope Francis made another of such controversial statements, it turned out to be a hoax! So I was a little less quick to believe this story on face value. However, it turns out to be true.
The 77 year old pope is reported to have stated this during his weekly address in the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Square. He claimed that dogs, along with “all of God’s creatures,” can make it to heaven.
The pope's remarks were made in order to comfort a young boy who was mourning the death of his dog.
