‘You Can Now Send Tweets—And Other Links—In Twitter Direct Messages’ – ‘ReadWrite’

Lauren Orsini says, “Twitter announced Thursday that users can now share public tweets inside direct messages.

If that announcement struck you as a headscratcher—couldn’t you do that before?—you’re not wrong. You’ve long been able to include links to a tweet’s detail page in a private message on Twitter. But especially on mobile devices, that’s been a cumbersome, multistep process.

Twitter now makes it a feature that’s easily available by pressing down on a tweet for a longer period, which could encourage more people to have private conversations about tweets. That, in turn, might get them to participate more on Twitter, especially if they’re not comfortable responding publicly with a reply, retweet, or favorite”.
