Facebook sent an email to users Monday, alerting them that messages will soon be disappearing from Facebook’s iPhone and Android app (for now, messages will remain available in the iPad and Windows Phone app, as well as on the mobile web and desktop.)

While Facebook has been suggesting users make the switch over to Messenger for some time, the social network stopped short of actually forcing users to do so. But over the next few days, users who have yet to download Messenger will see new reminders prompting them to get it. Eventually, messages will disappear entirely and users will only be able to check messages via the web or Messenger app (users of the main app will still get message notifications, however). Messenger is a fast, free and reliable way to stay in touch.

So why would Facebook be forcing users into an app that some people still don’t want to use? The company says Messenger is “faster and more reliable” than chatting within the main Facebook app. Messenger also has more features, like voice and video calling. But the real reason may have more to do with Facebook’s bottom line.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed during last week’s earnings call that the company eventually wants to monetize Messenger and the app will eventually “overlap” with payments, though, as TechCrunch notes, he acknowledged the company still has a lot of work to do before users will see payments cropping up in the app.

Either way, those who are holding out on installing Messenger have a few more days to enjoy chatting in the main Facebook app, before it goes away for good.

Messenger is a fast, free and reliable way to stay in touch. It’s just like texting,

Features:
Get to your messages without opening Facebook.
Bring your conversations to life with stickers.
Send photos privately.
Have group conversations and make plans on the go.
Text your phone contacts, even if you’re not Facebook friends.
Share your location so people know when you’re nearby.
Record voice messages.
Make free calls, even to friends in other countries.
Know when people have seen your messages.
See who’s available on Messenger and who’s active on Facebook.
Stay logged in so you never miss a message.
Turn off notifications when you’re working, sleeping or just need a break.

Wilson Creative Group, an award-winning advertising and marketing firm based in Naples, has added three more honors to its portfolio of outstanding work. The brand campaign it recently created for client John R. Wood Properties was recognized with three Excel Awards from the Southeastern Building Council (SEBC) for Best Logo, Best Newspaper Ad and Best Overall Advertising & Marketing Campaign. Sponsored by the Florida Home Builders Association, the SEBC’s Excel Awards honor excellence in the construction and related industries. Awards were presented July 25 in Orlando.

John R. Wood REALTORS®, a long-standing, highly respected real estate brokerage firm in Southwest Florida, selected Wilson Creative to execute a brand campaign that would solidify their position as the number one luxury home sales leader in the region.

This groundwork laid the foundation for all the creative components in the award-winning campaign that included a brand name modification (to John R. Wood Properties), a logo evolution, print ads, TV commercials and a new tag line, “Bring your highest expectations.” Additionally, WCG redesigned their newspaper inserts and the company magazine, Estate Lifestyles.

“It was an honor for us to take on such an important, high-profile campaign for one of southwest Florida’s most established and renowned companies,” said Peggy Wilson, president and CEO of WCG. “To achieve and surpass a client’s goals is always our top priority. Then to have that work recognized by industry peers truly makes us proud.”

Last week, Facebook launched a new feature called Save, which lets you do just that: save links to articles, places to visit, movies and television shows to see, and music to check out later. so If you’re short on time, a new bookmarking feature on Facebook lets you save links, places, music, and more. Here’s what you need to know.

Every time you visit Facebook, your news feed contains up to 1,500 new posts — from friends, people you follow, and Pages. And while its news feed algorithm is designed to show you the most recent posts, you don’t always have time to read everything .

The Save’s features are basic and lack customization and offline access.To find something you saved, navigate to the More tab on mobile and tap Saved. Find this on the web by clicking the link on the left side of Facebook. Facebook will organize your items by category, and you can swipe right on each item to share it with friends, view the post, review it, like it, or move it to your archive list, Giambalvo said.
