First, the number of Facebook users just surpassed the number of Chinese in the world. Facebook is now the largest country/body of people/whatever it is in the world. Wow.
Alongside that success is a growing segment within the stand-alone Facebook Messenger app that just hit 600 million users. The news today is a SDK release that enables Messenger as its own stand-alone platform for other development work. Here is a piece on that:

Here is a snippet from that piece:
Today at Facebook’s F8 Developer Conference, the company announced that it will make Messenger’s API available to third party developers.
Facebook has been quietly working with select partners to offer an array of available Messenger-integrated apps at launch. Now, instead of manually selecting to share content, then choosing Messenger from the list of apps, a one-button approach should streamline the process.
“We’ve been building Messenger as a way to express yourselves in more than just text,” Mark Zuckerberg said during the opening keynote.
Most of the launch partners for Messenger Platform are focused on content creation, GIFs and emoji (naturally).
