Twitter-like Facebook Feature Fun

I have a love/hate relationship with Twitter. One feature of Twitter that I so LOVE is the @username feature. I can @myfriend and write to them directly on Twitter - still a public tweet mind you - but I know my friend will see it.

I can also use the @username to "mention" my friend ... "I'm here with @myfriend, teaching with @myfriend, hey do you know this super cool kid @myfriend."

Facebook is keeping tabs on Twitter's sky-rocketing popularity and copying this popular Twitter feature. Now, in my Facebook status updates, I can @myfriend just as I would in Twitter ... tying my update to that person.

Now, my @myfriend is "tagged" in my status update on Facebook ...

Just as you would be careful tagging a photo on Facebook, please be cautious with your use of the @tag on in your status updates. Remember your netiquette and only tag when appropriate.

GO PHILS!!!
