In a blog post, LinkedIn announced it has started rolling out 'mentions' for English-speaking members. Users can now address each other by simply adding a connection or company name in the status update column or in the comments section. Also, they can select someone from the list of their connections that appear in a drop-down, complete the status or comment and post it.
Unlike Twitter and Facebook, LinkedIn users don't need any symbol to
mention. Users, who have been mentioned in a post, will get a
notification about the update.
“We know that LinkedIn members are some of the most engaged
professionals online. After all, you are involved in millions of
conversations across LinkedIn day after day. That’s why we want to make
it even easier for you to start those conversations, share knowledge
with one another and ultimately become even better at what you do,” says
the site in the post.
