Filed under: iPhone, Microblogging, Twitter

Twitter has finally introduced instant notifications for @mentions, starting with SMS users and the Twitter iPhone app. By default, push notifications from the iPhone app will only work when you get a mention from someone you're following. You can change your settings in the iPhone app to receive notifications for all mentions. To do the same for SMS, text "set mentions all" to Twitter.

Instant notifications for direct messages are also now available on iPhone, which joins SMS and BlackBerry as the only platforms to have them so far. The updated iPhone app is available in the App Store now.Twitter for Android and Twitter for Windows Phone will have this feature "soon," according to Twitter's blog.
