Lifehacker Twitter direct messages--did I subscribe for these?
Why am I getting direct Twitter messages from myself with Lifehacker posts?
I think that perhaps I signed up through Lifehacker to get top stories direct messaged to me through my Twitter. However, a search of my email account, twitter account, and Lifehacker itself has turned up no way to turn it off.
It is possible that I set this up somewhere, months ago, and it finally went through. However, I am not sure, and would love to hear from Lifehacker if this was something on their end.
Thanks!

Inappropriate?Bumped, because I am still getting top stories direct messaged to me and it's pretty irritating. Anyone know where these are coming from?

Inappropriate?I'm getting these direct messages too. Exactly as described. I don't know how to make it stop. Please help!

Inappropriate?I'm going insane trying to delete these from Gawker. The most irritating thing is that I go to the site constantly so by the time I check these on Twitter they are old news! Help me get rid of them!

I don't remember setting up lifehacked to tweet to my twitter. But I was told to change my twitter password and that made the problem go away! good luck -
Thanks Rose! Changing my twitter password solve the problem.

I do not have mobile phone messages enabled and never have and I continue to get a plethora of Lifehacker direct messages daily.
This doesn't seem to be Twitter's problem, Scott. -
Inappropriate?Mine stopped, too, and I would guess that's why--I did change my password at one point.
Awesome! -

Like we said above, try changing your twitter password. Seemed to work!

Inappropriate?That didn't work either. Any more suggestions? I've already gotten 10 new messages since I posted this morning.
