Hey guys and gals!
I noticed that someone has made a mod for vbulletin which allows for twitter/facebook style tagging of users in a post. For example, let's say I mention Janszoon in a post and I want him to notice. I could just add @ in front of his name (@Janszoon) and then Jans will get a notification that he's been mentioned in my post when he checks out his User CP .. or something along those lines.

People probably know and enjoy this functionality from twitter, facebook and other social sites which have already had such functionality for years and I also think it would be a great addition to MB.
To those who want to point out that actual implementation of my suggestion has about a snowball's chance in hell, I'd like to thank you in advance for your knowledge and tell you I too know all about that (so feel free not to point it out), but as they say : nothing ventured, nothing gained.
