Twitter has now OPENED up Direct Messaging. Previously, you can only DM people who follow you back.

See Twitter's announcement here: https://blog.twitter.com/2015/easier...-conversations

This is going to be HUGE as far as MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES are concerned.

No, I'm not talking about spamming. I'm talking about building INFLUENCE NETWORKS.

    Yes. It's always good when we can contact other people. I didn't know that we can't send a message if the other person started the conversation.

    The integration of the Discover tab is a huge change for marketers. Individuals and marketers can be “discovered” now through their updates or the content they are sharing on a topic.

    Personally, I don't like DM, they always looked kinda spammy to me, but I agree, as a marketing opportunity, this is huge!

    Yes, this is great opportunity
    but just if you do this opportunity properly.
    Twitter is also a community so better is if you build personal relationship with your prospect

    I don't think it will be that huge, Twitter direct messages is a function that was already spammed to death and most people will just mark as read all messages or never look at them. With this update even more spam will fill the DM inbox, and even if you want to do real marketing with high quality stuff, your message will be surrounded by other spammy messages that it might not ever get noticed.

    Why? Who reads DMs? I never have, and I never will. It's all spam.

    They're probably doing this to divert spammers. It will work. Spammers will clog the DM line even more, which means your message will drown.

    You realize this is opt-in, right? As in, it's not open for people by default.

    if you wanted to send a Direct Message to the ice cream shop down the street about how much you love their salted caramel flavor, you’d have to ask them to follow you first. With today’s changes, the ice cream shop can opt to receive Direct Messages from anyone; so you can privately send your appreciation for the salted caramel without any barriers.
    I don't think the average Twitter user is going to activate this. Businesses will have the option to block spammers.

    On the whole, you get what you pay for.
