Hey guys, I'm new to twitter but I'm wondering if there is anyway to be notified when you are mentioned in tweets? like @(name). I've checked my notifications and I only get emails when someone follows me. do lot triumph tphcm ao chip do dung cho be vay cong so chan vay cong so nu chup anh cho be o ha noi

Yes, go to your profile name on the top right, then settings. Click on notifications and choose which actions you want emails for.

I've only got mine set up for DMs. I get so many @-replies I'd be inundated with messages if I was notified for all of them, not to mention new followers every so often.

With mine, at least, the notifications seem a little spotty. Sometimes I'll get an email for each, and sometimes I'll get 3 or 4 replies and no email. I blame SP.

Huh? What did I do?

Also: BAH.

You're taking up all the blummin' emails, that's what!

I ticked every box in the notifications tab, then had four twitter friends send me messages, reply to my tweets, and mention me in a tweet and I got ZERO notifications.

Smartphones will notify you when you get an @ automatically if you use one of the twitter apps.

Apps are the way to go. I don't even get emails for some new followers, have to track them down myself (I inspect every one).

that makes me want to follow you just so you can tell me what you find when you inspect me

I plan to buy a smart phone one of these days!

If you don't want to use an app, try hootsuite: http://www.hootsuite.com

Seconded. I adore Hootsuite, not the least because it allows me to manage several twitter accounts at once while seeing my @replies and DMs broken out for each one.
