Twitter has always had trouble creating an identity for itself, which explains its stagnant growth<\/span> and why nobody wants to shop for it<\/span>, even with its best efforts. Despite its image as a public network, there’s considerably a personal side to the service also \u2013 in direct messages, or DMs as they’re popularly called. you’ll interact with other Twitter users without the constraint of 140 characters, or revealing the contents of these messages on your profile \u2013 as happens with tweets by default \u2013 but you can\u2019t simply DM anyone.<\/p>\n

As such, you’ll only start a conversation with someone who follows you. But Twitter isn\u2019t just an area for people only \u2013 brands, companies, celebrities, or communities are all on the social network too. That\u2019s why Twitter allows you to customize the choices for direct messages, letting you receive messages from anyone, which is colloquially referred to as \u2018open DMs<\/span>\u2019.<\/p>\n
