Personally, we’ve kept the window snapped to the right side of our screen, which pushes other opened windows to make room for Facebook Messenger, and we’re still connected to the happenings in Facebook. Some of you who stay logged in all day may find yourself bombarded by messages from friends. In that case, you can choose to go offline, like in the browser version, but keep up-to-date through the real-time Ticker feed. Any notifications that appear on your wall, will notify you with a temporary floating pop-up at the bottom right-hand corner of your screen.
In the coming weeks, the application will be rolling out for other users globally, while Facebook works on building a Messenger for Mac. Whether Facebook will build an application for other versions of Windows other than Windows 7 and in the future, Windows 8, remains to be seen, but we’ll update you if they get back to us.
