However, Twitter also added "Just #AskAlexa" hashtag, so the new feature apparently doesn't support push notifications just yet. It does give you a lot of options -- you can ask Alexa to read back recent tweets, trending topics and even your own tweets. The device is surprisingly prudish and censors profanity, as PC Mag discovered, so if your feed is like mine, that could be a lot of beeping. However, it should be handy for Twitter addicts who want to stay on top of current events while cooking or doing other tasks.
