On Facebook you add the @ symbol before a person's name because then you can choose his/her name from your friends list and their name will be tagged in your status and they will notified. Other people will be able to click on the name in your post and get to your friend's profile page.
On blogs the @ symbol may refer to a Twitter handle.
