Original Article: Facebook announced a new feature today, which allows users to tag their friends in their status updates and other posts from the publisher. Previously, you could only tag friends in photos, videos, and notes.
"It's another way to let people know who and what you're talking about,"
Now guess how you tag somebody from the publisher...include the "@" symbol. Yes, that's right. One more thing that Facebook seems to have adopted from the Twitter culture. To be fair, the @ doesn't display once you tag a friend. When you type the @ and start typing a friend's name, it will provide a drop-down menu of suggestions that you can choose from, and when you pick somebody, it will insert their name as a clickable link to their profile. It works with friends, groups, events, apps, and Pages.
