Since it was introduced by facebook I guess it will probably become mainstream and be accepted before long, but I am wondering if there was a term previously used for these types of elements on social media websites that indicate a user's emotional reaction or response to posts.

Also, is the term possibly ambiguous or confusing in other UX context?
