Make your fanpages go more viral

One of the features of Facebook that users, looking to promote their pages, need to be made aware of is status tagging, which lets you reference your friends, Events, Favorite Pages and Groups within each of your updates. This is something twitter users are all to familiar with and you facebookers need to catch up.

How
Status tagging an update or any other post to your pages is relatively easy. In the publisher, you simply use the “@” sign and type your friend, event, favorite Page or Group’s name. After selecting the item that you want to tag and clicking on the event, person, or page that you want to tag, the object will automatically become hyperlinked within your status update. Again, this process is old school to Twitter users, many Facebook users still have yet to figure out how to take advantage of this feature.
Why
So why would you want to get into tagging? In the case of friends and Pages, it’s a form of acknowledgement, encourages interaction and may bring to the attention of others. However, in the case of events, it will raise awareness, promote and draw attention to others something you’ll be attending in the future or recently attended.
