Who wants to say "Heading to the park with Maria Sanchez-Gonzales" when they can simply say "Heading to the park with Maria" and have just her first name act as the link to her profile? It's so much more conversational... It would be way better if they only displayed the first name in the status messages (or at least gave you the option).

Before the feature came out, I was wondering if Facebook would limit the features for business pages or groups, but it looks like they didn't. Simply put, what it's done is it's offered virality “one step out”…. by having people tag your (or…your business) without having to be on that page, you're creating a direct link between their contacts and your profile/page/etc.

That way we don't have to learn a new sytnax. I hope this trend continues that social networks try to use similar features that they see are popular. The easier they can make it on users to learn how to use all of the features, the more popular a network will be.<br><br>Thanks for the valuable information!
