@ symbol usage for activity stream #61

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

In order to get a feature added to BuddyPress Media, you have to provide a
concise description of the feature, and compelling evidence that a large
percentage of Buddypress Media installations will use it.

[In less than a paragraph, how does the feature work?]
For BPAlbum+ anyone who uploads an image could use the @ symbol to "tag" 
another member on the site in the image. By placing the @symbol in the image 
description that would send the image to the "tagged" members activity stream 
and the members activity stream who uploaded it.

[Why is this feature necessary? What shortcoming does it fix?]
Necessary so that a member will know when another member uploads an image of 
them, and it would let other's know that a new image of that person was 
uploaded.

[Are other social media websites implementing this feature? If so, provide
links to example sites.]
Facebook - but they don't use an @symbol. I thought maybe it would be easy to 
implement seeing how we can use the @symbol in our status updates to 
communicate or "mention" another user.

[Is this feature relevant to many different kinds of websites? Explain
why?] It's relevant to any social media website for more social activity.

[Please attach a sketch / wireframe of the feature to the ticket. (If
applicable)]
