how do you send personal messages to people in twitter?

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
