Set an Alert for Each Time a Specific Twitter User Tweets

This Tutorial addresses:
  • Twitter
While using your Twitter account, sometimes you might want to remain updated about the tweets that any of your favorite persons posts. In order to get this done, you can set an alert which gets triggered every time your favorite user tweets something.

In order to set an alert, you must have your cellphone number added to your Twitter account. After you have configured your profile for the alert notifications, every time the target Twitter user tweets something, Twitter sends you an alert message via SMS on your mobile phone.

It is easy to set tweet alerts for a user on Twitter. Here is how:

  1. Using any web browser sign-to your Twitter account.
  2. Ensure that you have already attached your phone number to your account.
  3. On the Home page, search the user by typing the name in the search box (box with a magnifying glass) for whom you want to set a notification alert.

  4. Once the target user is found, click the user from the displayed results to go to the user’s profile. (E.g. Hugh Jackman in this demonstration.)
  5. On the user’s page, click the gear icon available at upper-right section.
  6. From the available list, click the Turn on mobile notifications option.

  7. On the Enable mobile notifications for Tweets popup box, click the Enable Tweet notifications button to get alerts via SMS each time the target user tweets.
