what's the difference between

- Messenger

- plain vanilla messages i get in Facebook web site

- 'chat' messages, were I to turn on 'chat' in Facebook web site

i'm not asking rhetorically. i honestly can't keep up with all the messaging avenues availabale today...

In theory they are the same, but with this recent release there is now a class of messages that are send device-to-device and cannot be viewed via the web interface.

I'm pretty sure they're all the same thing.
