These are really cool features. Had no idea they existed and look forward to using them for my online business as a means to reach out to my existing customers.

I agree -this is a nice added feature, but missing some important features like the tagging in comments & on other people's wall. I hope FB adds this feature and stops messing with the news feed. I hate the latest news feed/live feed BS

I'm an author with a Facebook fan page (http://facebook.com/susanma..., and I've asked my fans to @mention me so I could test out this feature. Several have reported back that they did so, but none of their @mentions appeared on my wall. Do I need to change settings to make that happen?

Twitter invented @tagging as much as Microsoft invented the graphical-user-interface. Yes, Twitter has done great things for bringing it into the common tongue / common language of the web, much as Microsoft did w/ the GUI; however neither invented either.

Well I believe with Facebook even coming out with @mentions is a copy off of Twitter in the first place so I believe it to be relevant to the post. My comment had to do with a reason that I like Twitter vs. Facebook. I could have been more clear and descriptive in the comments though. I don't like the fact that I can never seem to get rid of all of those stupid notifications so it shows a huge list of unread notifications (maybe the fact that I have tried to become friends with everyone in my local area has to do with it).

Albeit,Facebook had done a great thing also recently i updated my status by tagging friends.

Hmm... but unlike FB note tagging, if you neglect to tag a person when you initially type the status line, there is no option to add the tag after the fact (once people have commented on my status, I don't want to repost it just to add a tag that I've missed putting in). Or am I missing out on how to do this?

Facebook, the Microsoft of Social Media. Their brand, your innovation...from five years ago.

Some of you all need to give it a rest. Twitter did not invent tagging and they certainly didn't create the @symbol. FB could have used any key they wanted to to invoke it. I'm rather thankful that they chose to keep something about the 'net consistent in that regard. There's zero reason to have to remember multiple ways to do the same thing just because you sliding down a different pipe.

This feature will be nice. It'll add some context to my updates when I mention people. I think that's a good thing. If you don't like it, just don't use it.

i agree with this. The differentiation isn't distinct enough.

I've used it a few times now. Seems pretty cool.

It would also be nice for this feature to happen via the API as well. (Twitter supports this)

Setting aside for the moment that your comment doesn't appear to be related to @mentions, I'm not sure I understand your comment. I never delete my notifications and my message count has never been affected. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you.
