Many Facebook users are depending more and more on its messaging and chatting service to communicate with their contacts. Even if you do not use Facebook heavily, you may find yourself logging in from time to time just to read requests and messages from your contacts.
If you regularly communicate with your friends and other contacts via Facebook, then you should take a look at Facebook Desktop Messenger. It is actually a desktop client that resides within the system tray and provides you with most of the features Facebook offers right on your desktop.
This desktop client from Facebook can be accessed within the system tray of Windows and you can use it to access chat, Notifications, Messages and Friend Requests from your desktop, and there will be no need to run your web browser.
Facebook Desktop Messenger is an application that can be gotten only from Facebook. It will not give you all the features you can get while using a web browser (for example you will not be able to see the newest posts/stories); but it supports such things like Notifications, Messages and Friend Requests, and its strongest point is in Chat, offering you the usual instant messaging experience.
If you use Facebook frequently, you will definitely like this thing. It has the ability to let you know what is happening in real time the moment certain things happen, for example photo tags, comments, and so on, even while you are performing other activities on your PC.
However it has a few shortcomings, for instance the program starts with Windows and users have no way of controlling that (you can take care of this with an app like Starter), and the amount of memory it takes up is really not small (sixty megabytes and up, though not excessive but definitely not small). Also, the program docks to one side of your screen and this may make a mess of the icons you have on the desktop.
Summing up, anyone that enjoys using Facebook, will definitely like Facebook Destop Messenger.
