This website is owned by Facebook and it has been in existence for quite a while but surprisingly, only a few people know about it. As a matter of fact, only a very small fraction of the billion daily users know about this other Facebook website.
The website is more like a stripped down version of Facebook and it lets you talk to your friends without all the distractions you get on the full Facebook website. If all you ever do on Facebook is just to keep in touch with contacts through messages, doing this through the main Facebook site may be a waste of time.
Notifications, ads, pokes, news feed are just few of the distractions on the main Facebook site but Messenger.com lets you just talk to friends.
The website is simple and clean and its dedicated solely to messaging. Nothing else. Just log in with your Facebook account and you’re in.
You won’t be bugged by unnecessary notifications and as a matter fact, it doesn’t even look like Facebook. It’s more like the messenger app you have on your phone.
The website was launched in 2015 but kept secret. In case Facebook is blocked at work and you can’t access it, chances are that your employer doesn’t know about Messenger.com yet.
However, you may be unable to login to the site if you’re using a mobile browser because the login form will be replaced with links to download the mobile Messenger app. If you’re using a browser like Google Chrome, requesting for the desktop version should display the login form like it should.
If you find Facebook rather distracting, this is probably what you should be using.
