Ever go out with a friend on a Friday night and want to update your status letting your friends know? You may update your status with something like, “Going downtown tonight with Jaimie!! Text me if you’re out!” Well now, you can even tag your friend in that post! This is just another enhanced way for Facebook users to really connect as much as possible with others throughout the social media network.
In order to tag your friends on your status update, you would just need to type your status and then type “@friendsname” and it will tag them! As easy as that! What are the benefits of doing this? Well, maybe your friends will notice that the friend you tagged is also an old mutual friend of theirs too, they can reconnect with your friend on the spot, just by sending them a simple friend request. Or, what if your friends see that you’re hanging out with a person that they are attracted to? Then they can know where you are and who you are with and network and connect in person.
Some people may be hesitant to tagging their friends in their status updates, but it is “untaggable” so your friends can choose to opt out of this if they wish, but in the end it’s just another way to announce to the world what you are doing and how they can connect with you better.
