A Brand for social justice
In 2020, brands did something they’d never done before: They spoke up about race.
It has many of Messenger's mobile app features
Facebook has launched a standalone Messenger app for chatting on the Web outside of Facebook.com.
The move is Facebook's attempt to create a dedicated hub for chats on the Web as it incorporates many new features into the Messenger mobile app, and grows its use. Facebook users can still chat with others as they would normally do on Facebook.com. But the new Web app, accessible at Messenger.com, is aimed solely at messaging, without other distractions like the news feed or profile pages.
To use Messenger.com, which went live on Wednesday, users must sign in with their Facebook credentials. It works largely the same as the mobile app, with support for voice calling, stickers and emoticons, and syncs chats across devices.
On mobile, Facebook has extended the functions of its Messenger app well beyond simple messaging. For example, users can now send each other money within the app. Third-party developers can also integrate their software into the app, giving users more ways to place digital content inside their chats. Facebook is also making Messenger a platform to let users interact with online retailers and receive updates on the status of their orders.
Facebook's Messenger app now has roughly 600 million users who log in monthly, which is almost half of Facebook's total user base.

In 2020, brands did something they’d never done before: They spoke up about race.
‘Business as unusual’ is a term my organisation has adopted to describe the professional aftermath of COVID-19 and the rest of the tragic events this year. Social distancing, perspex screens at counters and masks in all manner of situations have introduced us to a world we were never familiar with. But, as we keep being reminded, this is the new normal. This is the world we created. Yet we also have the opportunity to create something else.
In times of uncertainty, people gravitate towards the familiar. How can businesses capitalise on this to overcome the recessionary conditions brought on by COVID? Craig Flanders explains.
