Facebook Mentions — Facebook for famous people

Facebook has a funny way with names. First Paper, then Slingshot/Snapchat, now Mention/Mentions? https://twitter.com/mention/stat...

Really good idea to help drive engagement of valuable, that is, lucrative, users.

This would make more sense to me as a tool for companies to discover conversations around their products and engage, not just another way for Bieber to check in with his fans. Definitely another attack on Twitter, though.

Here's a new UX question: "how would people use our app if they were super famous/influential?" I wonder what's actually different. A higher threshold of activity before sending push notifications? Multi-user account management so your PR/media team can post on your behalf?

Very impressive. They keep chipping away at Twitter's lock on public/flat/pop culture differentiation

Yo, @snoopdogg! Chime in on this one. :)
