Facebook Enhances Tagging Feature To Include Auto-Suggestions

Facebook has enhanced its auto-suggest and tagging feature so that the @ key is no longer required.

Now if you start to type a proper noun into the status bar, you would be prompted with a drop-down menu listing any corresponding names among your friends, pages or groups. If you select one, the name would appear in your status update or wall post as a hyper-link. Previously you needed to trigger the tag by typing @ first.
