Twitter Announces Push Notifications for @Mentions

Yesterday evening, Twitter announced on its Blog that it would be making push notifications available for @mentions of your username by anyone you follow. This means that you’ll get an SMS or iPhone notification whenever someone you follow mentions your username. Away from your computer for the afternoon? You won’t miss a Tweet with this new feature.

With the new push notifications, you can opt in to be instantly notified on SMS or iPhone whenever someone mentions your Twitter username.
