I've always wondered. I have a Twitter account and follow maybe a couple of hundred sports people, actors, musicians etc and amongst my group of friends and asocieties have about 40 or 50 followers.

When someone sends you a message, retweets something you've written or mentions you in a comment you get a notification.

For a celebrity who has millions of followers must get tweeted millions of times a day or mentioned millions of times a day in comments or tweets made by ordinary people - do they get notifications? I can just picture on their iphone the Twitter symbol with a red number over it saying 26,000 or something like that. But surely not?

How does this work for them?

Hi Keith, I use Twitter occasionally and I am assuming that the settings for any interaction can be deactivated in the privacy part of their profile? Like one can on facebook.
Hey Keith, in my Notifications it shows Retweeted by Joe Bloggs and 123,456 Others...
Or maybe it's not actually them but their PR person
keith, do you get a notification if someone who's not on your list of followers, i.e. just a random surfer, happens to read your tweets? And, if so, does the notification identify that random surfer?
