Mentions
Mentions are a big feature of the Facebook for WordPress plugin “..Once the plugin is installed, you can cross-post content published to WordPress to your Facebook Timeline and the Facebook Pages you manage. You can also mention the names of Pages and friends as you post to further distribute your content..”.In short when you mention a friend your post will be added to their timeline and a list of the friends you mention will be added to the top of the post on WordPress.
Social Facebook Widgets
