How Do I send a direct messege on twitter?

[chorle]

if you click the down arrow inside the small box on top it will show you who you can DM
if you do the @username it can be seen by everyone and will post to everyone following you but is fun for debate.
You can also respond to post with the left arrow that shows up when you put cuser at right bottom of friend's post also public same as writing @username but less work and the star above arrow is to save as favorite

@example sends a public message to example
D @example should send a DM to example

clicking direct message and finding and clicking "example" in small box above message box after clicking down arrow should also work
