I remember Microsoft giving Facebook it's twitter account named MESSENGER. Going by how companies acquire/trademark names. I'd say the domain name is also a gift from Microsoft.

A chrome extension with a button with notifications count + that page inside a popup when clicking the button would be nice. It would probably reduce a lot of my facebook.com usage.

Upon logging in, it serves a text file containing "Please try again later"

Try logging in to Facebook first in the same browser. Then visit messenger.com

You'll see a link on the page asking you if you want to login as your Facebook account name. Click on it and you should get logged in.
