Now you can tag your friends and other things you’re connected to in your Facebook status and other posts. This feature works with the Publisher box that appears on your home page and profile page.
Tagging allows you to more actively mention your friends and other things you are connected to on Facebook. It also lets you direct a post at specific people while still keeping the conversation open. Friends you tag will receive a notification and Wall story that you have tagged them, and also when someone else comments on a post they are tagged in.
- Type the "@" symbol in the Publisher text field, either to start the post or as a new word with a space before it.
- Directly after the "@" symbol, type any part of the name you would like to tag. A new drop-down menu will appear with all matching entries. You can tag friends, Pages, groups, events and applications.
- Click the name you would like to tag. It will appear as a blue link in your post. You can tag multiple different names in the same post.

Facebook is rolling this feature out over the course of the next few weeks, so you may not be able to use this feature just yet.
You can tag the following things in a post:
Groups will show a group icon next to their name in the drop-down menu, and events will show a calendar icon. Pages will show the Page photo, and profiles will show the profile photo.
When you tag an application, the link in your post will lead to the application’s Page. You can only tag applications that you have used.
- Your confirmed friends
- Pages you are a fan of
- Events you are attending
- Your groups
- Applications you’ve used
Groups will show a group icon next to their name in the drop-down menu, and events will show a calendar icon. Pages will show the Page photo, and profiles will show the profile photo.
When you tag an application, the link in your post will lead to the application’s Page. You can only tag applications that you have used.
Only your confirmed friends can tag you in their posts. If you have blocked someone or removed them as a friend, they will not be able to tag you. If you have blocked someone, and then a mutual friend tags you in their post, the person you blocked will not be able to view your profile by clicking on your name.
