Facebook released Messenger.com which allows anyone to use the Facebook Messenger service on a dedicated website without any distraction from the Facebook Newsfeed and Notifications. Messenger.com may look like a stretched version of the facebook messenger service which is already accessible through facebook.com, but the move by facebook to make Messenger service as a standalone app on iPhone, Android and now in Web is very clear.
