Threaded discussions on Facebook may lengthen now that the site has expanded its recognition of the @ sign as a tag that prompts link creation.

Just about anywhere on Facebook where you can input content, typing in the @ sign followed by another character prompts a drop-down menu suggesting people, pages and events you’re already connected to.

Click on your choice and the @ you started to type becomes a link to the person, page or event.
