Geek Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/growl-notifications-twitter-mac.jpeg" alt="growl notifications twitter mac" title="growl notifications twitter mac" width="453" height="317" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12164" /></p> <p>You can get desktop <strong>Growl notifications in Twitter for Mac</strong>, here’s how:</p> <ul> <li>From Twitter for Mac, go to the Twitter menu and open Preferences</li> <li>Click on the Notifications tab</li> <li>From the drop down menu, select ‘Growl notification’ for either Tweets, Mentions, or Messages</li> <li>Close out Preferences and changes are immediate</li> </ul> <p>Now just a word of warning, if you follow a ton of people, having Growl notifications for Tweets can be a firehose of desktop notifications atop <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/mac-os-x/">Mac OS X</a>. I just enabled the feature for Mentions and Messages, and if you have a large and active follow list this might be the best choice.</p> <p>Notice that <strong>you can also set notifications to appear on the Dock icon</strong>. In the screenshot below you can see the little red star badge appear on the Twitter icon, alerting you to a mention or message.</p> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/twitter-dock-notifications-mac.jpg" alt="twitter dock notifications mac" title="twitter dock notifications mac" width="252" height="79" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12165" /></p> <p>Twitter for Mac is a great twitter client with a lot of cool features. I wasn’t originally sold on the app, but after using it and discovering the cool features like <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/14/tweet-from-anywhere-in-mac-os-x-with-twitter-for-mac/">sending a tweet from anywhere in Mac OS X</a>, I’m now a regular user.</p> <p>Thanks for sending in the tip Adem!</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tS1w68Xc8MiHIINFcNJRoJYlI9M/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tS1w68Xc8MiHIINFcNJRoJYlI9M/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tS1w68Xc8MiHIINFcNJRoJYlI9M/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tS1w68Xc8MiHIINFcNJRoJYlI9M/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=44NktWHmsMM:kU39Soh-E9k:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=44NktWHmsMM:kU39Soh-E9k:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=44NktWHmsMM:kU39Soh-E9k:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=44NktWHmsMM:kU39Soh-E9k:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=44NktWHmsMM:kU39Soh-E9k:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=44NktWHmsMM:kU39Soh-E9k:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=44NktWHmsMM:kU39Soh-E9k:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/44NktWHmsMM" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
