Facebook Messenger hits half a billion users

Social networking site Facebook Inc said its messaging service is being used by more than half a billion people, few months after it was separated from the main Facebook app

Forcing you to install is cheap. I never use it

No feat, just forced. Worse than YouTube and Google+

LOL I must be weird then. I only use the messenger on my phone the bloated facebook app has been disabled on my phone looooong time ago. If I need to check facebook for some reason I can do that via a desktop.

I refuse to install another messaging app. I already have Hangouts and WhatsApp. Don't need another battery drainer.
