Tumblr for Android has been updated with a brand new feature called Mentions. This will allow users to create a link to their blog and let other persons know that they have been mentioned.

With the latest version of Tumblr, you will need to type @ and a username when writing a post, in order to take advantage of the feature. Check out its full description as posted by the developers:

“User Mentions! Just type @ and a username when you’re writing a post. We’ll create a link to their blog and let that person know that you mentioned them. They will be thrilled by this. If someone mentions you, we’ll send you a push notification, and then you too will know the thrill of being mentioned.”

You can now download Tumblr for Android 3.5.6.02 for free via Google Play Store. The application should be fully compatible with most devices powered by Android 2.2 and up.
