What does this "behaviour" mean?

Twittia lets you use two behaviour modes. One in which Twittia demands much attention with a bouncing dock icon, growl notification, sound and so on when a new tweet arrives. And another without all this when you want to concentrate on something else and not be disturbed by twitter all the time. This two modes are completally configurable.
