My close group of a friends always has a Facebook Messenger thread going. We went to college together but have since moved to different places all around the Midwest. We make time to see each other in person a few times a year, but the main way we keep in contact is a Facebook chat that's constantly rolling.

So it goes both ways.

Well yeah, that's a reasonable use-case, but how often does it really happen? Plus you're probably talking about a handful of friends, but what about the other 150 people or more in one's list?
