However instead of having to simply know or remember the person’s username you’d like to tag, Facebook will generate an auto-suggest dropdown based on what you’ve typed after the @ symbol:</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mashable.com/2009/09/14/how-to-facebook-status-tagging/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/mashable.com/img/149FC772-978B-47C1-B7EF-A0DDF1497CAE" alt="how-to-fb-1" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mashable.com/2009/09/14/how-to-facebook-status-tagging/"><P>This is a nice touch considering that the scope of Facebook’s status tagging feature goes beyond just being able to tag your friends. You can also tag pretty much anything you’re connected to in the Facebook universe: companies, brands, artists and shows — anything that has a Facebook Page. You can also tag events and groups you’re a part of.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mashable.com/2009/09/14/how-to-facebook-status-tagging/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/mashable.com/img/12BB0708-A761-41A7-B3BC-6A8EBE0FBE9E" alt="how-to-2-best" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mashable.com/2009/09/14/how-to-facebook-status-tagging/">Unlike Twitter, the @ symbol won’t actually remain as a part of your update</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mashable.com/2009/09/14/how-to-facebook-status-tagging/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/mashable.com/img/DB8D6622-162B-471B-A5F7-8A1348864C25" alt="clickable" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mashable.com/2009/09/14/how-to-facebook-status-tagging/">tag an event</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mashable.com/2009/09/14/how-to-facebook-status-tagging/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/mashable.com/img/53D3A859-F12F-4405-A38A-4C000A43B422" alt="events" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mashable.com/2009/09/14/how-to-facebook-status-tagging/">the result after I’ve selected the correct event</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mashable.com/2009/09/14/how-to-facebook-status-tagging/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/mashable.com/img/2D770465-6308-4C68-A223-2E7EF5081005" alt="events-after" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mashable.com/2009/09/14/how-to-facebook-status-tagging/">One complaint we have about the new feature is that it <EM>only</EM> works in your status updates</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/116F24B7-E131-4281-BE59-3161798202F1/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
