Following earlier rumors, Twitter today formally announced the rollout of Web notifications on Twitter.com.

Twitter shares that all users will soon be able to reply to tweets within notifications in a way similar to OS X’s Twitter notifications. In case you’re uninterested in notifications, you can turn them off via the settings page.
