- After a great deal of speculation, Facebook has quietly activated its desktop chatting client.
- Digital Trends reports, “you can now keep tabs on your notifications, friend requests, ticker, and chat all without opening your browser.”
- Facebook’s Messenger could potentially serve a deathblow to other message systems such as AIM and Yahoo Messenger, suggests the post.
- The review is generally positive, but offers the following caveat: “The one feature we wish were available would be the viewing and commenting controls that you have when you’re visiting Facebook in-browser. Via Messenger, the ticker won’t actually reveal the items it’s announcing: instead, you’re redirected to the site. Included items like listening in with friends or viewing pictures via the desktop app would be a huge improvement.”
