Yesterday, @favcau suggested we should log mentions and show the users on the activity feed. Even though I have that in my mind for a while, *Mention**is not actually an operation like posting comments, voting etc. in the blockchain, so it will be different to implement. 

### Adding the mentions support

After a quick workaround, I have implemented a virtual operation in the [steemrocks codebase](https://github.com/emre/steemrocks/pull/15).

I have used this regex pattern to catch usernames:

If anyone has a better pattern to catch usernames, I would be pleased to hear it.

#### Testing

Let me know if you have any issues with the mentions.
