You can now send private message to celebrities and popular brands through Twitter. To be able to do this all you need to do is follow them. Now, is your chance to tell Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber just how much you love them.
A Techland Time post says, “Twitter has apparently dropped the mutual follow requirement for sending Direct Messages to ‘verified’ accounts on the micro-blogging service.”
This decision will almost definitely prove to be controversial, bombarding accounts with all manner of unwanted messages requiring clean-up and monitoring.
Graeme McMillan of Techland Time opines, “Even though there is an option to reset the feature to the traditional dual-follow DM system, I’ll be surprised if this option does not quickly disappear as quietly as it debuted. Until then, why not take the opportunity to tell some celebrities just how much they mean to you? Who knows, they may even see the message.
The move has not been officially announced but was discovered by users on Sunday. However, Techland believes that celebrities of the world will soon demand that it changes back.
