New Replies Settings

It's interesting to watch as the Replies feature on Twitter evolves. This feature was not originally part of Twitter until people started doing it. Then we began linking the updates together and enough people started using it that requests for specific levels of control began rolling in. We received enough feedback from folks who enjoy using the @replies feature to create a new setting.
Essentially, we've added more control to the @replies setting on Twitter. Head on over to Settings > Notices if you want to tune the level of incoming @replies you receive. There's also a help article about the @reply settings if you want to learn more.

That's nice and all, but I'd rather see the option to get special notification of @replies directed towards just ME - kind of like how direct messages works.

Was, by chance, the "only @replies for people I'm following" default enabled a long time ago?

One month ago I have noticed this was happening silently and I was really annoyed when I saw this happening.

I am happy to see this being configurable now, so thanks for giving my notifications back! :)

I agree with Joshua. I usually use Twitter only on my cell, so I end up missing @replies from people I don't follow or whose notifications are set to off, which is a pain. I hope those people don't think I'm ignoring them! A lot of the time they'd just started following me, and I hadn't even noticed. (Which brings up another feature that would be useful to me -- the option to have notifications of new followers sent to my phone, instead of just my e-mail address.)
