I think it would be interesting for Facebook to allow the user to set/select additional interaction verb-names. So you could have "dislike" button if the poster wanted it there.
My local newspaper often has stories that say "small child dies in horrific house fire" [like this on facebook], which seems.... inappropriate.
The lack of an option for the author to change the verb really does suck. People wanting to show empathy to someone's post on facebook about something shitty which has happened ends up in a long thread of sad faces, which kind of shit up any real conversation which takes place.
Being able to make a thumbs down available for select posts would solve that.
