From the BBC:

Quote:

Facebook has devised a "sympathise" button as an alternative to the "like" button for use in certain situations.

If a user selected a negative emotion from Facebook's list of feelings in a status update then the "like" button would change to "sympathise".

The article says that Facebook aren't planning to release it just yet, but the idea is there. It's similar to RYL's hug button. I think it's a good idea and hope it gets released soon.
