Who can you send messages to on twitter? - SixFlags - 09-30-2012 12:47 PM
I'm trying to send a direct private message to a person I'm following on twitter but when I click to choose who I want to send it to nobody shows up. What do I do?

The person should be following you, then you can send him/her a direct message.

You can't send a message to someone your following, the only way you can send someone a message is if they are following you.

Hi you can only send direct messages to people who follow you back
you will have to use @username /your message' here'

Hi,
The drop down box on the direct message inbox page (please note: this is a random selection of people who are following you, not the complete list.)
So you could use the d commond.
to reply to a regular Twitter update with a direct message from your home page, click the arrow/swoosh at the end of an update; this sets an @reply in the update box. Remove the '@' sign and replace it with a "d" and a space, and type the message. People who have their direct message text and email notifications set to ON will receive direct messages on their phones and/or via email. Tweets sent using any of the methods described above are not public: only author and recipient can view direct messages.
