Twitter's DM Feature Update

Twitter

With new feature update of Twitter where it is letting you directly share public tweets through its private direct messaging system.

If you copy and paste a tweet's URL into a direct message (DM), it will embed itself in the message for easier viewing. You can also hit the "..." icon under a tweet and select "Share via Direct Message."

Previously, if you tried to paste the URL of a tweet into a DM, it would show up as a link. It saves you a click when privately sharing something in your Twitter feed; the update works on Twitter's web client, iOS and Android apps, and TweetDeck for Chrome, Windows and web.

The move is a part of Twitter's larger effort to update its platform to be more user-friendly; it's not quite as intuitive as Facebook's Messenger app, for example. Earlier this week, a bug prevented people from sharing URLs in direct messages, but was later fixed. The private sharing of public tweets was also anticipated earlier this week.

Twitter is also planning on introducing native video in the first half of 2015, which would be an alternative to Vine or YouTube.
