ever since they came out with the Facebook messenger for the desk top that is what I use. my computer is to slow to get on the actual page. the timeline doesn't help that either. now that I have a kindle fire I do get on the page to scroll through the posts but then I get right back off. the messenger is so much easier to use and more convenient for me. I want to know what your views are....which do you use and/or prefer?

For me, I use the page to see the posts and not to leave the messages. If I want to communicate on real time basis I use the facebook messenger. I don't have facebook messenger installed in my computer too, i just use the facebook to send the messages through the facebook messenger.

I was really happy for the messenger because my computer became to slow to open the web pages and when I got the other computer I just automatically downloaded it. I only really talk to 1 friend on it. do you think you will ever use the messenger for the desk top?

I use Messenger for Facebook that was a Free download ap for my Cell Phone and my tablet. It is a lot easier than logging into Facebook all the time just to see who has messaged me. A lot more convenient as well, especially when time is limited and I might not have the time to come online much.

I agree very much with you it is way more convenient. I usually use my messenger while listening to music on iTunes and downloading more music from my frostwire.

I haven't used it yet and probably won't because it's probably going to be hard for me to figure it out. I'm fine with the regular messaging back and forth on the site.

I prefer the actual page, as I play games and the like on it mostly. I tend to stay away from any messenger (I can count on one hand how many times I used the Facebook Messenger) and that was exclusively by accident. I don't use any messenger because I don't really like the instant access thing. That's why I like myLot, you read discussions when you want, and decide which ones you want to respond to.

I use to play a lot of games on it until my computers became to slow to load up. I don't like that instant access thing much either but I do have a friend I talk to everyday for a good while so I just turn my messenger to offline and talk only to that 1 friend. I agree I like mylot a lot better than facebook.
