Have you gotten a look at your redesigned Twitter profile yet?

Well, Twitter introduced a brand new profile this week that looks very much like Facebook, and now the similarities are going a step further. The company is adding notifications for its Twitter.com profiles, so, like Facebook, users will get live updates of when they get retweeted, replied to, followed, or direct messaged — all with a little pop-up window that will appear in the lower right hand side of the screen.

Though, you can turn off notifications for certain things, too.

If you haven't gotten your new profile yet, don't fret: they should finish rolling out in the next couple of weeks.
