Facebook one of the leading Social networking site is trying to be more social by trying to take over Blackberry Messenger.

A couple of days back 'Facebook Messenger' was launched on iPhone and Android which is a standalone app for messaging your Facebook friends and mobile contacts. Yesterday the app was launched for Blackberry in US only. Blackberry Messenger also known as BBM have more than 45 million users around the world while Facebook with more than 750 million users worldwide. Facebook will be hoping to steal away some of the market share in the growing mobile instant messenger market.

Facebook Messenger app is available on both Android and iOS devices, but there are no dates set for when it will be available outside US.

"More and more of us rely on our phones to send and receive messages. But it isn't always easy to know the best way to reach someone on their phone. Should you send an email or text? Which will they check first? Did they even get your last message?" wrote Facebook engineer Lucy Zhang in a blog post explaining the new service. "We think messaging should be easier than that. You should be able to write a message, click 'Send' and know that you will reach the person right away."


On Wednesday, however, just one day after the launch of Facebook Messenger, the app was already the number one most popular in the Apple App Store among all free apps. Customers had posted 929 ratings already, delivering a 3.5 star rating out of a possible 5.
