Posted by on Jun 29, 2011 in Blog, Featured, Social Media, Twitter blog, Twitter Tutorials | 0 comments

Twitter sends you an email when someone new follows you. Set up your email preferences to notify you when you have a new follower.

You can also subscribe to receive Twitter updates on your phone, even if you don’t have a Twitter account or associated phone number.  Fast Follow is a way of receiving Twitter updates. Now you don’t have to sign up or add your phone in order to receive updates,

To get started, send:

  • Follow [username] to 40404 and you will start receiving tweets from that user on your device.
  • Example: sending follow Twitter to 40404 on my phone would mean I’d start getting SMS updates whenever Twitter posted a Tweet.

This article from Twitter help center explains how to signup for @mention or reply notifications.  If you want to get notifications on your phone when someone else tweets, while signed into Twitter you can click the mobile updates button by their username.
