Facebook's Version Of @ Replies: Tagging

Today Facebook has announced the ability to tag users within status updates and posts. In order to tag your friends in feed updates you simply use the “@” sign and begin typing a user’s name. As you type, their name will be displayed below the publisher. Those messages will then be posted to a user’s wall as though you posted it. While Facebook has not stated that usernames can be substituted in this area, my assumption is that they soon will.
