Whether you’ve been Wow-ing posts like a maniac or actively avoiding hitting anything
but the Like button, feedback about Facebook's new Reactions has been all over the place, from confusion and outright dislike, to a whole lot of meh. And while we didn’t expect answers to all our awkward questions in the two shorts weeks they’ve been around, one cannot help but wonder: is it too soon to call them a failure?Answering this question requires a hard look at how people are using Reactions -- if they’re using them at all. Personally, the overwhelming majority of my friends and coworkers have avoided the disembodied emoji heads since they rolled out, but what about everyone else? According to a just-released study, people generally do like Reactions, but are having a hard time finding them. It’s going to be a bit tricky for Facebook to convince people to alter seven years' worth of user behavior if they can’t even find the shiny new features. https://www.thrillist.com/tech/nation/have-facebook-reactions-already-failed/tech
