The user experience is going to be tough to nail, so that users would actually use something like this. I think the new Facebook usernames that were recently introduced could at least provide a unique identifier. In order for them to be used, Facebook would need to make these usernames clearly visible everywhere and make the new Markup easy to use. Cheers, Jon Great point Justin!

The problem is with Facebook, they don't have usernames, and doing it by actual name would make it tough to discriminate between a two (or more) name name and actual spaces. For example, does: "@Sally Marion Knuth I found your wallet at my place after the party last night... come get it when you get a chance!" mean "@Sally", "@Sally Marion", or "@Sally Marion Knuth"?
