I need something explained to me, FB related
So in an email I got about a facebook message, the bottom of the mail said something like, "You can now tag people in your status updates. Just type @person'sname." I've seen a couple of people do this, as in, "@Jane, I miss you!" I thought this was a Twitter thing. Don't people's twitter names have the @ in them, and that's where that came from? Which I never understood to begin with; I just kept seeing people's FB status updates that said stuff like "Had lunch with @JohnDoe today." Anyway, clearly I don't get it. Am I just living under a rock that I don't get this? Or does it really have something to do with Twitter? I have a Twitter account but I NEVER use it because I think it's dumb.
Re: I need something explained to me, FB related
Ahah! That makes a lot of sense now. Thank you SB.
Yep.
I don't know about the linking thing, but it's become a convention to reply to status comments using "@FirstName" if more than one person has commented on your status. It's carried over from Twitter, but it helps identify which comment you are replying to.
I figured that's how you did it; I just now made that connection! But I think what I was thinking of at first is what Chicklit said, how people reply to other's comments by saying, "@so-and-so, blah blah..."
