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 On Twitter

Imagine the possibilities. You might do a Twitter search of people who are looking for apartments to rent in the area, because they just accepted a job. Well, if you are a realtor, you can use Twitter to send a direct message to that person, in order to let them know that you have a rental property that fits their exact needs. This is incredibly beneficial to you for your business, and will give you the opportunity to do anything that you need in order to get the help that you need.

How To Avoid Getting These 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.

Critics will complain about this becoming a commercial option for companies who want to get into the lives of one and all. This is where choice is essential in the system's new implementation of direct messaging to one and all. The idea is for the user to have the choice as to whether or not someone can message them. If they do allow for the feature to move forward, this enables non-followers to message each other without being restricted.
