Until the notifications are available in SteemIt you can use:
steemstats
Add your account name to the "account to watch" feature.
You will see:
- Recent account activity
- Notification of votes
- Stats on your Posts, Comments
- Incoming Votes
- Replies
Another tool is steemd
You can monitor the activities on your account. The URL is https://steemd.com/@xtiming
You can monitor anyone's account by changing the user name in the URL.
steemd also notifies you of new "follows" in your activity log. You will need to refresh the page to update the information.
Steem on,
Mike
