More People Get New Facebook Messages

Facebook’s new messaging platform went out to more users today, and I’m pleased to be one of them. Spokespeople for the social network won’t disclose official numbers on exactly how many people or which markets have received the update at this time.

Around 12:45 pm Pacific Standard Time, the Facebook home page included a window asking me whether I wanted to upgrade to the new messages. This appeared in the upper left quadrant of the screen, and pointed to the messages icon.

Clicking on the blue button labeled “See What’s New” eventually resulted in a new window in the same spot informing me of my new email address, which conveniently remixes the URL on my profile.
