If You Do Not Have Facebook Messenger You will very soon

 
Those of you that rely on the Facebook app for your chats won’t be able to much longer if Facebook follows through on their plan. Facebook has notified users in a few European countries that messaging friends in the Facebook app will stop in about 2 weeks. Users will still be able to message their friends, but they will have to download and install the Facebook Messenger app in order to do so.

This doesn’t appear to be a “test” and is the long term plan for Facebook. You can expect this change to hit every country, but there are a few caveats. Those with lower-end Android devices won’t be required to use Messenger. Also, for whatever reason, Windows phone users will still be able to see messages in the Facebook app. Finally, the Paper newsreader app (not on Android yet) will still show messages.


So what do you guys think? I personally don’t use Facebook much anymore, and the few people that do message me on it, I am happy to get them from the main app. Now I have to install another app in order to get these few messages, which is a pain. On the other hand, I do understand Facebook’s direction and they certainly don’t need to cater to part time users like myself.

5 types of women guys go for By Jonathan Small With so many amazing women out there, how do you know which one is right for you? The honest truth is, you don’t really — that is, unless you get out there and date. “Men should experience dating many different types of women before they settle down,” says Dr. Gilda Carle, Ph.D., a New York-based relationship expert and author of Don’t Bet on the Prince! How To Have The Man You Want by Betting on Yourself. “The more relationship skills you learn and the more experiences you have, the more prepared you’ll be when true love finally comes.” So, allow us to present five women you really should date before you say, “I do.” Of course, no one is saying you should go through life with a little checklist titled “Women to Date,” but spending time getting to know and appreciate these women can be a wonderful thing.

An Ocean in the Sky Clouds tend to be relatively flat or slightly curved on the bottom. Well, asperatus clouds aren’t like most clouds. Also known as undulatus asperatus clouds, which translates roughly to turbulent waves, these hovering masses of water particles oftentimes seem to reach down towards the ground with dramatic and seemingly artistic waves and curls . Recently named in 2009 for their wavy undersides, asperatus clouds are mysterious by nature. Since they are seen so rarely, that their origins remain somewhat of an unknown and they are the first new clouds to be named since 1951. There is a current notion that they stem from lenticular clouds which are commonly found near mountain ranges or possibly mammatus clouds which are closely affiliated with thunderstorms. They are frequently documented in the United States’ Great Plains which supports the mammatus theory since the American Midwest has some of the most frequent and intense thunderstorms and cloud formations in t...
