If you’re like me, following a small but very active group of Twitter users, Twitter will soon be blended into part of life. Now, where ever I go, as long as I have a few minutes to sit down or wait for someone, then I will surely fire up my phone browser and nagivate to m.twitter.com. If I don’t read tweets I’m following for 1 day, I think I will easily miss out at least, at least 60 tweets.
At times, you might come into situation when, someone asked you a question on Twitter, and you don’t feel like exposing the responding answer to all your Twitter followers, for personal resaon, privacy concern or simply don’t want to spam every single reply to all followers.
The alternative option available in this case, is to send Direct Message. By sending Direct Message using Twitter, only the intended recipient will be able to read your tweet.
How to Send Twitter Direct Message?
- Login to your Twitter account, and go to Home page. You will see a menu link labeled “Direct Messages” on the right sidebar.
- In the Direct Messages page, you will be able to select a recipient from the list containing all your followers. Select a recipient, type in your message, press the Send button, and you’re done with it.
In TwitterFox, there’s a panel that shows all direct messages that you have received. You can also send direct message from TwitterFox using this format — d twitterUser yourMessage. Example: d google this is a direct message to google. Note that it doesn’t require the @ character
