Facebook is a pretty solid cross-platform messenger.
Aside from the slew of baby photos, event invites, over-emotional statuses, throwback thursdays and Candy Crush invites, the Facebook website is a great way to contact your friends.
But if you find yourself using the world's most popular social network as a messenger app, then Facebook's little-known, second website might be a better fit.
Facebook's Messenger.com website is an online version of the hugely-successful smartphone and tablet app.
The news comes after police warned about a dangerous new scam on Facebook.

It's like WhatsApp Web, but for Facebook users – and it strips away the onslaught of adverts, status updates, memes and more, found on the standard social network.
You can even kickstart video or voice calls with your friends from the simple online messenger.
Any photos sent between your Facebook friends in either individuals conversations or group chats can be downloaded from your browser, too.
You'll need your Facebook account details to login to the website, but if you're already logged into the social network you can proceed with the same username.
According to a report in Business Insider, Messenger.com is only used by some 70 million users each month – a slim portion of the 1.44 billion users that login to Facebook.com each month.
