The twitter is one of the greatest microblogging ever had come so far. There are many good feature in the twitter which make it more easy and suitable to use by the newbie.

In recent days Facebook.com, had grown its network over 250 Million users. Facebook was developed to connect,share,networking etc. Due to the vast traffic and usability the user are increasing in multiplies.

Twitter’s one of the feature ” @username ” was most liked and used to sent the messages. The facebook recently tried and embedded this feature “@username” in the facebook.com to ease the things.

Here is Facebook engineer Tom Occhino’s explanation of the new feature:

Now, when you are writing a status update and want to add a friend’s name to something you are posting, just include the “@” symbol beforehand. As you type the name of what you would like to reference, a drop-down menu will appear that allows you to choose from your list of friends and other connections, including groups, events, applications and Pages. Soon, you’ll be able to tag friends from applications as well. The “@” symbol will not be displayed in the published status update or post after you’ve added your tags.

Friends you tag in your status updates will receive a notification and a Wall post linking them to your post. They also will have the option to remove tags of themselves from your posts. We hope that tagging your status updates and others posts from the Publisher will enable you to share in a more meaningful and engaging way, and connect with even more people. We’re rolling this feature out over the course of the next few weeks, so you may not see the new feature just yet.

Summary: The @ symbol now works just like Twitter, and not just for users, but for groups and fan pages as well.

Facebook has just stepped deep into Twitter’s territory. How long until you can see your @reply history? We’re betting not very long at all.
