This tagging function stopped working for me when the new FB rolled out this weekend. Anyone else?

This is very interesting. It does add more value to using my Facebook account.

I agree, seems short sighted, but maybe they'll develop it further.

It's not working on Opera Version 10 for me, but is working on IE7, haven't tested Safari yet.

Doesn't seem to work in Opera version 10 though!

Instant tagging in FB -- what's not to like about making it easier?

You must've missed cycle two of bell-bottoms and skinny jeans. That's pretty much how it's done.

Whatever it is "new" that you're doing, good luck. (No sarcasm).

Agreed. The @ is obviously not meant as a way to send private messages. They already give you the ability to write a note and tag a person, or send a link as a message. Sometimes, the wrench just won't do the job the hammer will.

Yep, it's quite a different implementation. So much so that I think Mashable is doing a disservice in saying that it's like Twitter.

Great feature, except an advantage FB would have over Twitter is to not count the tags as words in the status. If I tag five friends with long names, I hardly have any space left for the actual status update! FB could post it under the update like it does the "like" button so it doesn't take up room in the update.

ive been having issues too, particularly on my 'public profile'.

Re: BREAKING: Facebook’s @Mentions Feature Is Live

I actually disagree with you. i like it! why? because then when im mentioning someone (or something) my friends can see who im talking about.

if im going to 'fakename nightclub' and i want my friends to come with me i can just tag their page and my friends can check out the page to find out where it is, instead of me writing a whole 1 million word status update with all the details of the club.

whats better
"going to fakename nightclub, tonight - wanna come with?"

"Going to fakename nightclub tonight - wanna come? its at 4874 fakename road, mt fakename, it costs $837. dj fake, dj faker and dj fakey are playing."

My point is that there is no similarity in how @replies are used on Twitter and Facebook. On Facebook the only people who see them are my friends but on Twitter everyone can see them, including the people I sent them to, even if they aren't following me. If I want to send a message to Lance Armstrong on Twitter I send an @reply and there's slim chance he'll read it. Can't do anything like that on Facebook.

I think this is a far cry from competing with Twitter. People still have very different styles of using the networks and will use them differently.

Innovation is dead for these people, they should be consigned to the pages of antiquity. Facebook comes from Myspace which comes from Friendster which comes from Geocities... Twitter just comes from Facebook's status update...

Is the future just going to be a continual rehash of everything that came before, the shameless co-opting of other brands and methods?

Not if i can help it, i'm off to do something new, if this is all it takes to grow and be on top of the heap, i'm sure many of you could do better, you should too.

why didn't they call their new lite version tweet.facebook.com?,
that would be more accurate.

Does anyone know if you can @ reply to someone you're not friends with on Facebook, like you can with Twitter? Also, if you're an admin for a page, can you send @ replies to fans and not just your personal profile friends?

I tried it earlier to promote @ mentions to several other fan pages on Facebook. It worked well, however through facebook connect to twitter, @ mentions do not work at all. Already seeing increased traffic through my website and fan page. Works really well with making "FB tweeting" easy for the simple minded. Facebook is gonna dominate and swallow up the bird....
