mentions
Talks about briefly
Mentions is the plural of mention—references to someone or something by name.
In social media, mentions specifically means instances where your username is tagged, alerting you that someone has referenced you: I woke up to hundreds of mentions after my tweet went viral.
The word also appears in phrases like honorable mentions for recognition that falls short of winning.
