Direct Messaging To Non-Followers On Twitter

By Raza Khan


One of the most innovative social media platforms that has been created in the last couple years is Twitter. It is very popular, even more so than Facebook with certain demographics, simply because of the simplicity of using the system. By simply typing messages that are less than 140 characters, you can communicate quite a bit with those short fast statements. In this age of wanting to have things right away, Twitter fulfills this need that most all of us have. In this article, we will address one of the new features that Twitter has offered which is called direct messaging to non-followers.



Using The Direct Messaging Feature To Target Non-Members

Now it doesn't matter if a person is your high school friend, college roommate, or a celebrity or business associate - all of these people can be sent a private direct message! Of course, it was always possible to gain the attention of anyone on Twitter by simply using their username in a message - but those are public. In the past, it was never possible to get in touch, via message, with anyone on the website and not have that message be visible to the public at large!

Ways To Avoid These Types Of Personal Messages

Although there used to be an option which prevented people from sending messages in this way, it appears that this is no longer available. From time to time, Twitter will experiment with different things, and this seems to be yet another test to see what the people on their social media site actually prefer. Time will tell whether or not the new Twitter feature will be popular, or something that they should have never done. Hopefully this feature will not disrupt your ability to properly communicate with people you are following, or make you less confident about participating on the Twitter social network.

Twitter is constantly revolutionizing its system in accordance with their community's requirements. If the community demands something, they are always looking to put it into their system. One of the newest additions being made to the system at hand includes the option of direct messaging to non-followers. This is the best way of making sure messages can be sent to one and all without being restricted. Let's take a glance at what this feature is all about and what it encompasses for those who want to understand the new feature.
