* @mike@macgirvin.com - This is called a "remote mention" and can only be an email-style locator, not a web URL.
Unless their system blocks unsolicited "mentions", the person tagged will likely receive a "Mention" post/activity or become a direct participant in the conversation in the case of public posts. Please note that Friendica blocks incoming "mentions" from people with no relationship to you. This is a spam prevention measure.

Remote mentions are delivered using the OStatus protocol. This protocol is used by Friendica and GNU Social and several other systems, but is not currently implemented in Diaspora.

If you sort your contacts into groups, you cannot @-mention these groups.
But you can select the group in the access control when creating a new posting, to allow (or disallow) a certain group of people to see the posting.
See [Groups and Privacy](help/Groups-and-Privacy) for more details about grouping your contacts.
