No you can't tag someone on the moble site.

I like the mobile site, but when it comes to things like looking at
pictures, any captions people write for pictures are not on the mobile site.
Also, can you tag people or places on the mobile site? I try the same way it
is done on the regular site, putting an @ sign before, but it does not work.

Thanks.

Cindy
