It is also possible to send private messages, known as DM, through “direct messages”. These messages are preceded by the letter “D” and followed by the username. They are outside the public timeline, but to send private messages to another participant on Twitter it is necessary for them to follow us. Users can also create lists of other users, which they can group by different topics. They are usually used to follow certain topics, or to read other people without having to follow them. Lists can be private or public.
