3/12/2011
Facebook users can now tag their friends, Pages, Groups, and Events in comments to news feed stories and wall posts to create linked mentions. This will help users carry on conversations with other commenters and allow them to easily reference different entities on Facebook. Users can type an “@” symbol to initiate the tag drop-down menu in comments.

When a user is tagged, they’ll receive an notification stating that a friend “mentioned you in a comment.”
