At the risk of sounding uncool, I have to say that Facebook got it completely wrong with their new feature – letting users tag their friends on facebook comments.

Of course, it was a much requested feature, by many facebook enthusiasts, and it works perfectly fine. The problem pops up, when you actually start using it.

So, what’s the problem ? Facebook lets you tag your friends on comments – but with their full name, that’s not editable.

When was the last time you commented something like this on your friends status update ?

Now that is lame and completely “non-facebook” kind.

We normally comment with informal tags like, dude, yo, bro and may be the first/last name but not the entire name. That’s very LinkedIn, not Facebook.

So, what’s the big deal ?

Facebook should give us two options. One – To tag your friend in comments and Two – To edit his name to whatever you want, while the link actually goes to the right person.

Like, “That was a nice one johnny boy!” (The link on -johnny boy- going to John Freeman’s profile).

Makes sense ? Just my two cents.
