Weeks after they officially removed the 140 character limit, Twitter.com has made more changes to the direct messages component to now make users more aware of new messages. Users on desktops using Twitter will now get a notification when they receive a direct message. The addition of desktop notifications for messaging will be helpful for those in places where smartphones are not used as much. Currently 80% of Twitter.com's 316 million monthly active users are accessing the services via mobile. This doesn't mean that these users are exclusively accessing Twitter.com via their mobile though. Twitter.com has also made changes to its direct message component of its Android App.
