If you know the person's twitter name well enough, you can always type it manually in the tweet edit box you can summon up with the button in Notification Center. Or, you could copy/taste it from the tweet you just read. I'm mostly just being difficult here; I use my favorite twitter client to

Hi, Sure, it would be a cutdown twitter client. What else would you call something that displays mentions, DMs, and would allow you to reply to those? hhaha. I get your point though. I can't think of much a reason for these capabilities not to be included in notification center. Ricardo Wal

One thing i really can't understand, though i've got a good explanation of Twitter in ML is why we can't reply directly to mentions and DMs directly from notification center? I mean what's the point of posting a tweet from the Notification center only to have to go to our favorite twitter client

I had to take slightly different steps, but I got it. I now see a "click to tweet" button in my notification center, which I assume is what everyone is talking about. Oddly, though, I never got directed to twitter.com to authorize the connection. Despite that, OSX now shows as an approved app on

Hi, nope. The only way you can reply is to interact with the mention or message in the notifications table and then perform a mouse click with VO shift spacebar. Then, Safari will open up to twitters page. Not very efficient. I think we should suggest Apple adds a feature that allows replie
