How to tag friends in your Facebook status and posts?

One of the popular features on Facebook is tagging, which gives everyone the ability to identify and reference people in photos, videos, and notes.

Not too long ago, Facebook added a new way to tag people along with other things you’re associated with on Facebook, in status updates and other Editor posts. It’s another way to tell your friends what and who you mean.

People often update their own status to reflect their own thoughts and emotions, or to talk about things they feel like sharing. Occasionally, that means referring friends, groups, and even events they attend, such as posting “Getting a snack with Mike David” or “I’m going to Starbucks Coffee Company. Anybody want a cup of coffee?”

Now, while writing a status update and you want to include a friend’s name in something you’re posting, just add the “@” symbol beforehand. As you type the name of what you’d like to reference, a dropdown menu will appear allowing you to select from your own list of friends along with other connections such as groups, events, apps, and pages. Soon, you’ll also be able to tag friends from within the apps. The “@” symbol will not display within the published post or status update after you’ve added your tags.

Friends you tag within your status updates will receive a notification along with a wall post linking them to your post. Additionally, they will have the option to remove tags of themselves from their own posts.
