How to Make Names Interactive on Facebook
When you post an image in your Facebook profile, you can tag friends in the picture. The tag creates an interactive link to your friend's Facebook page and notifies him that he was tagged in a picture. Tag your friends in Facebook status updates to create the same link to a Facebook profile. Your friends receive notifications from Facebook any time you tag them in status updates as well.
