After WhatsApp, it was the turn of Messenger to have a web client. Indeed, the number of social networks will make Messenger.com the new address to access its messaging functionality on the web, but the newsfeed, groups, pages and other features of a number of social network that may be distracting.

There are a few months, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that "email is one of the few things that people use more than the social network." And obviously, if you use Facebook primarily to share privately, it does not want to spoil your experience with the distractions of the social network. Of course, a Facebook account is always required.

The good news also is that Facebook did not intend to require you to use Messenger.com, since the company spokesperson reportedly told our colleagues at Re / code that functionality Mail will not disappear as long the main site.

If you wonder why Facebook has a feature that is already on Facebook.com Messanger.com, be aware that the number of social networks has big plans for it.
