TIP: Tumblr has quietly unveiled @ notifications for users!
Tumblr unveiled a basic feature on its platform today that will make many users happy—if they notice it.
Did you know you can type @ to auto-link a username? You can! And as of today, you can now see notifications when someone @mentions you on your Activity page and your dashboard:
The awesome: MENTION!!! NOTIFICATIONS!!! ON YOUR ACTIVITY PAGE!!!!!
The cons:
– if you have a lot of activity on your stream, forget about being able to find these notifications in the middle of all the other notes
– you don’t get email notifications, at least not yet.
– Tumblr users haven’t really noticed yet! So reblog! Mention people! Talk to each other! 🙂Why does tumblr not announce this kind of thing
