Not a facebooker?  With this release we also launched many other partner integrations as well, such as  Digg, Last.fm, Photobucket, and more.  Click here to look at all the latest partners we have available!

Old news to many, hopefully still new to some!

To all you facebookers and messenger lovers, I know you love updating facebook status message all the times and I also you love messenger and you are keeping it on 24x7, now here’s one tip that helps you update your facebook status messenger even more often!!

Now you can update your facebook status via messenger!

Here’s what it will look like

To do it, it’s actually simpler than you think:

1st - add the messenger app to your facebook,  http://apps.facebook.com/windowslivemessenger/.  [P.S. this app is created by Microsoft]

2nd go to the settings page, and check the second box

QED!

And I’d love to end this post with a quote from my friend Dharmesh..

It’s a mistake! Please just ignore it – you won’t have any problem signing into Messenger using your existing Messenger ID.  Our core team has also made a blog post here.  We are really sorry for the confusion that this might have caused, but trust me, I also feel your pain: even though I didn’t see the error myself (was having dinner), I received quite a number of emails asking me about the legitimacy of such error :)

I guess on a brighter note, treat it as a belated April fool’s joke. :)
