Before This Feature We Just Used to Type @ Before Friend Name In Conversations Which Would some times Lead To The Confusion when Their of USers of Same Name .

Now This New Thing Provides To You To Linkable Name in comments which will rule out the ambiguity.
When ever You Tag A person, The Person Who Is Tagged Will Get A Notification Like "The Person Who Tagged You" Mentioned You In A Comment " .



Not only friends it also Tags the Pages,events,Groups etc.Admins can ‘use Facebook as a Page’ and publish comments that mention themselves on the posts of other Pages in order to attract people to their Page. Unlike The Traditonal Way Of reffering as Posting The Url.
This Would Encourage The Users To Further Comment Turning into a long Run Conversation.But This May Flood Your notifications .
