Facebook thinks mobile messaging should feel like you're having a face-to-face conversation, so today it updates its Messenger for iOS and Android apps with the ability to see if someone's read your message, and easier ways to tell if someone's typing and where they're messaging from. Facebook Messenger "read receipts" are even easier to understand than those long-found on BlackBerry Messenger, and they work for group messaging too. The apps now display "Seen by Peter, Josh, Justin" right under a sent message. Director of Product Peter Deng tells "SMS has been around for 20 years, built it was for these T9 phones. We're?focused on leveraging all the capabilities of today's devices to create a new messaging experience." He also says?these are just the start of app updates designed to make mobile conversations feel more real, as if you had body language cues and more to go by. The read receipts definitely accomplish this, as you won't have to send any "did you get that?" messages or wonder if someone missed you message, or read it but just didn't respond.black friday 2011 deals nfl power rankings week 12 nfl power rankings week 12 brine turkey brine turkey uc davis super committee
