Facebook Releases Chat Client for Windows
Facebook now offers a desktop chat application for Windows. Like the company’s standalone mobile app, it is called Facebook Messenger, but the Windows client includes notifications and Ticker to drive users back to the site.
Ticker, a lightweight version of News Feed, has included Sponsored Stories since November.

Though whether these ads are shown on the website or a desktop client could have different effects on clickthrough rates.
