Such a helpful plugin. These days, people want the functionality of tagging others
as well as being tagged and receiving alerts when they are mentioned, similar to
when they’re on social media. This plugin adds that functionality even if you don’t
use BuddyPress. Brilliant!

Got it working – good job. Also, clicking on @link brings up author page, and most
commenters are not authors.

It is a simple yet Easy to use plugin that has been highly useful in my work. Kudos
to the author who who helped me modify the logic as per my need in just 4 days! 
Highly recommend this over other similar plugins which either dont have the autocomplete
feature or just dont send the email notifications. this does what the description
suggests and then some!
