Facebook to let users tag friends in status posts - Boston.com

I’m sure people will find all kinds of creative ways to use this new feature…

Product manager Andrew Huang says the status tags are "all about engagement." He says Facebook wants to let users reference their real-world connections in their status posts.

For example, if a status update mentions having lunch with a friend, the user can tag the post with that friend's name. That'll make it easier for someone to pull up all status posts mentioning that particular friend, regardless of who made the posts.
