    "Better off with Internet Browser"

    August 21, 2010  |   By araenchiallos

    Pros

    This is pretty handy if you don't like to use a browser I guess, but it's about the equivalent of opening a seperate window in any of your choice pick browsers.

    Cons

    It's not at all like messenger. it's not the stand alone program as you would see with msn or yahoo or even google talk.

    Summary

    In short it would be great if it could be like a typical messenger that would show you any personal updates as it is in regular facebook. Though there is lag issue in facebook as it is I wonder if this would free up some of the bandwith useage if it was a typical messenger instead. Just the same it would be great if there was a subroutine window for various facebook applicatoins like all the famous ones that take up so much of our lives. I honestly wouldn't bother folks. Avoid it if you can find something better. Digsby wasn't too bad fyi but that too has it's quirks. Still no light for my tunnel yet :(.
