Few days ago, Facebook send invitations to few of its members to use and test the Facebook lite the twitter alike version of Facebook. Today Facebook introduce Friends tagging more like you tag or reply as Tweet on the twitter. You can tag friends into your updates – letting them know when you name-check them.
On the Facebook official blog:
“One of the most popular features on Facebook is tagging, which gives you the ability to identify and reference people in photos, videos and notes,” says Software Engineer Tom on the Facebook blog.
“Today, we are adding a new way to tag people and other things you’re connected to on Facebook – in status updates and other posts from the Publisher. It’s another way to let people know who and what you’re talking about.”
How do you tag your friends? With an @ sign of course – something that will be oh-so familiar to Twitter users.
There is a difference, however, the @ sign will not be visible in your status, as ‘Tom’ explains: “As you type the name of what you would like to reference, a drop-down menu will appear that allows you to choose from your list of friends and other connections, including groups, events, applications and Pages.
“Soon, you’ll be able to tag friends from applications as well. The ‘@’ symbol will not be displayed in the published status update or post after you’ve added your tags.”
