Recently active problems in Twitter tagged with direct message

After sending a direct message from twitter.com/home, my latest tweet gets pushed on top of my feed. So every time I send a direct message, which I do so often, my latest tweet is added to the feed.

I think it should check if I made an update or not. I included a screenshot here to see.

The direct message count that is shown in the right column of twitter.com fluctuates plus or minus one as I click between the various tabs.

i don't have the ability to reply to a direct message sent to me because they aren't following me...

i realise that usually you can't dm people who aren't following you, but doesn't it follow logically that if someone direct messages you, then they might want to be able to get a response without actually following your tweets? Another way to remedy this is to have a setting to "allows direct messages from people you do not follow".

just a(nother) suggestion. keep up the groovy work.

I am running a bot that provides tracking functionality by using the Search API and sending direct messages. Now that there are about 100 people using it and getting messages, Ive noticed over the last few days that several messages haven't been getting sent. I understand the need for limiting casual users DMs to curb spammers, but my bot is legitamate.

I reported this issue on the development list (it exposes the contents of a random DM when using the json interface) and have filed a request through help.twitter.com (issue 320434) to have the limit removed or drastically increased. The rate_limit_status API call doesn't indicate DM limit status.

Any help is appreciated!

All direct messages I had with another person have been deleted, both sent and received ones, and we follow each other

When posting non-ASCII (or perhaps non-latin) messages from the web interface, and a "d" is the first alphabetic character in a tweet, twitter thinks that the message is a "direct message" without a recipient, so it displays the following error:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Send 'd username message' to send a direct (private) message. You may reply to a direct message the same way.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

However, the message is not intended to be a direct message. Some examples:

Japanese:
頭文字D

Hindi:
बियरD

I seem to be receiving direct messages fine much, but sending them isn't working.
I receive the "Your message has been sent to..." error, but it never reaches the other person!

direct messaging doesn't work for me, hasn't for the past few days, is something down?

Unable to use direct message - says "Technical Issues" we are working on ... however, have been receiving direct messages from others thru Twitter, even tho I'm getting this error

When someone sends me a Direct Message they show up in my timeline as "[sender] the message" as if I have posted this. What happened? How do I fix this? My twittername is frankmeeuwsen

I can't use direct messaging. Do you have to have either IM or SMS enabled? I don't IM ... ever... and our plan charges 10 cents per SMS.
