How to send Push Notifications from iPhone?

Are there any iPhone apps to send Push Notifications to your phone when specific users you follow tweet?

  • This is distinct from apps that send Push Notifications when you get @mentioned or Direct Messaged, and from apps that send Push Notifications when *anyone* you follow Tweets. Basically, I want to replace the Text Messages with Push Notification.

  • Answer:

    Boxcar does this and more - it will notify you of  tweets from people you follow, it will also notify you of a specific word or search term or trending topic - very useful.

You can set up Boxcar this way. Subscribe it to the RSS feeds of the tweet streams of the users you're interested in.

Boxcar is definitely the way to go. Not only does it notify you (with push notifications) when someone starts following you, but you can also set it up for mentions, people adding you to lists, retweets, custom searches, and much more...
