One of typical interactions is directly mentioning a person in a post, which gives them attention from other readers of the post and potential followers, as well as notifies them about such a mention in a special way. In this context, the mention could be highly important because it provides an opportunity to see people, events, and other things connected to the person, as well as potentially learn additional information about them. Technically, social networks often display the current name of the account when mentioned in text form, so old mentions can reveal previous account names. ### Examples {{some links to articles, videos, etc}} ### Tools {{some links to tools}} ### See also - {{internal links to similar techniques}}
