However, the biggest reason I HATE twitter is the “direct message.” Honestly, they should call it the not so direct direct message because if your spacing is off with the “d” then you have just shared something that was to be direct with millions upon millions of people. At least if you send something stupid via text it may only go to the wrong person. But not with twitter – it goes on your public time line never to be removed!

So, I created a rule that I only direct message if the content doesn’t matter. There is to much room for a mistake (a missing space between the “d”, the users name, and your message means that your private conversation just went global). If your are sending me something confidential, text me or email me. You will save yourself a lot of headaches!

What’s the worst thing that you have direct messaged on twitter and wished you could have back?
