A lot of my students ask me about how to send a direct message through Twitter. This is how you do it.
How to send a Direct Message (DM) in Twitter
Access you direct messages on Twitter
Click on the gear icon in the top right corner and then click on Direct Messages.
Click on new message
Type in the handle of the person to whom you want to send the direct message.
Twitter will autopopulate a list of people who follow you (these are the people you can send direct messages to).
Click "Send Message"
