Facebook Messenger is now available for Windows

Facebook has just released the Messenger app for Windows 7. It’s been available for iOS and Android for some time too.

The app does exactly what it’s supposed to do – bring the Facebook chat outside Facebook. But there are a few more features too.

On the top of your online friends list you get their latest updates too – just like it’s on the Facebook’s Sidebar. There are also on-screen updates for your notifications.

Finally, you can dock the app at the left side of your screen and you will have a fully functional Facebook Sidebar outside of your web browser.

Frankly, if you are a Skype user, you have most probably connected your Skype with Facebook already, so you won’t need this Messenger. In any other case just hit this link for the installation package. You don’t have to worry about any updates, the app takes care of that automatically, in background.

It consists of tiles that can find you on Windows phone and it will be presented to, you know that Christmas and all. And there are some other changes. What has changed is the fun factor and you'll be surprised, just how much fun is this game which shows that the really good things are usually stand the test of time.

Now there are a few things here remember. First of all not increase or decrease the speed of the serpent. Secondly, you can go through walls and come from the other side, so you need to stay out of it. Further, if you want a high score, you keep in mind that the keyboard response may be not very fast, so you make your moves accordingly. And finally the scoreboard moves a little differently here. It is constantly in motion and get the gifts it does means that you can a high score of rack, what faster by you long enough to stay alive.

After you are finished, you can your guests with other parts. Fortunately, you have to the page of 'Like' to play the game. In fact, you need playing not even to a Facebook account, i.e. anyone who can the Flash Player plugin and a keyboard which they.

You can try it out in the link below. Note that it is very addictive.
