This way, people can participate actively in any hot topic of conversation they want. It’s a great way to start off your social networking if you are one of the rising stars in any field of like and want to gain a fast and accurate user base without the hassle of going through the rough and tough Facebook social app.

Social media sites always look for high profile members as majority of the success comes from these users. By launching Mentions app that is solely targeted towards famous people, Facebook definitely knows how to help itself grow its revenue.

If anyone wants to use the new Mentions app, he/she needs to verify themselves on Facebook first that they are worthy of downloading the app and wants access to its features. After the request is granted by Facebook, people can then use the Mentions app directly from Facebook.
