There are two methods: DMs and direct messages (DMs). DMs are much more private and immediate, and will be seen by the person who receives it. However, DMs have a limit of 1,000 per day, so there is no way to message everyone on Twitter. In addition, DMs are less visible to non-followers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DMs_are_more_private\"><\/span>DMs are more private<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike email marketing, Twitter DMs are much more private than email messages. In general, private messages on social networks are reserved for one-on-one conversation and not for marketing purposes. However, it is possible to send as many as 1000 DMs per day. For more information on Twitter DMs, read this article. Also, don&#8217;t forget to follow the company you want to connect with! Followers can follow you back in return for a DM.<\/p>\n<p>Using the DMs feature on Twitter, you can opt in to receive direct messages from anyone. Previously, you couldn&#8217;t delete a direct message from the mobile app. However, even if you logged in on desktop, it would be there. The new feature lets you view the entire history of your DMs. This privacy enhancement is particularly welcome at a time when social messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Snapchat are gaining in popularity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_are_more_immediate\"><\/span>They are more immediate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The public nature of tweets plays a large role in making Twitter messages more immediate. It&#8217;s easier to respond to a tweet from a brand you know than to a random stranger. Twitter was designed for quick, real-time communication, so users are more likely to respond to customer questions and concerns quickly. Twitter&#8217;s format is a non-intrusive way to cater to customer needs without being intrusive.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_are_more_private\"><\/span>They are more private<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re concerned about privacy, you might be wondering if it&#8217;s worth messaging someone on Twitter. While Twitter is often known for broadcasting information, Direct Messages allow you to send messages to individuals and groups. Unlike regular messages, Twitter DMs are not viewable to others, including other users. In addition, the recipient&#8217;s DM will not appear on their main Twitter feed. However, DMs are viewable by applications that access the Twitter service.<\/p>\n<p>To message someone on Twitter, you need to be a follower. Once you&#8217;ve followed a person, you&#8217;ll see an envelope icon in their profile. When you&#8217;re in the &#8220;follow&#8221; section, click on the envelope icon in the top right hand corner of their profile. You can also click the &#8220;new message&#8221; button in the right-hand panel if you&#8217;d like to reply to an existing message. To reply to an existing message, simply type into the typing area. As you type, Twitter will show you a list of matching users. Click the name and it&#8217;ll appear in the &#8220;to&#8221; field.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"252\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-9m2ylpsXyQ\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Can I Message Someone on Twitter?
