Last weekend I was in Dallas for the Edusational Conference hosted by Cleaning For A Reason. Several discussions came up about @ Tagging in Facebook.
What is an @ tag? It's a way to create a hyperlink to a Facebook Page so that people reading it can click through to that page. @ Tags also appear on the Facebook wall of the person or company you are tagging.
So how do you create an @ tag? In the Status Update field, type @, and then start typing the name of the person or company you want to link to. As long as you have "Liked" that person or company, it will work. Choices will start to appear when you start typing. See graphic example:
The finished post looks like this: (the arrows point out the hyperlinks back to the Cleaning for a Reason page as well as the Hoover Facebook page)
This post not ony showed up on our Fan Page, but Cleaning for a Reason's fan page and Hoover's fan page. Now they are aware of my post, and there is also a link back to my page from their wall!
Isn't social media amazing?
