Twitter Messaging Alerts

It seems like Twitter is making changes along with Facebook. In fact, Twitter's recent change makes it look a little more like Facebook. It's adding notification alerts when someone mentions, messages or retweets a user. I do think this new addition is a good idea, but maybe Twitter should hold back on becoming too much like another social media site.

Both Facebook and Twitter are great in their own right, so why change one to make it more like the other? I like Twitter the way it originated. The point was to have a one-way status update platform, but now it's looking more like Facebook with the messaging functions. So, I guess it depends on what direction Twitter wants to take their social media platform whether this new development is ultimately a good idea or not, but I think they should make sure they are keeping themselves distinctive from other sites.
