First the people have to be following you to do direct messages also known as DM's.

With that said...

Directly from Twitter?

You have 4 options on the right panel which are currently listed as:
* HOME
* USER NAME (aka @BodyByChocolate
* DIRECT MESSAGES
* FAVORITES

Select "Direct Messages"

If U see a post from the person that you want to DM put your mouse over the right side of their post and you will see 2 icons appear.
* A circular reply arrow
* A trash can

Select the circular arrow and you will notice that their name appears in the drop down box at the top. You can now type a message to them directly that no one else will see.

NOTE: If you see no current item that is from the person you want to DM then you can drop down the list above and choose their name from that list in-order to write your private message.

NOTE: You can also type "D @UserName" in the text box and do the same thing. That would look like this "D @BodyByChocolate". This can be done from Twitter directly or from most any Twitter application like TweetDeck.

Hope that helps
