Here’s a requirement I am hereby instituting as part of the job of being a top exec at Twitter: An ability to use the Direct Message feature on the service without broadcasting it to everyone in existence.
Oh No, Noto Again With a Twitter DM Gaffe?
Repeat after me: A DM is not a tweet.
And yet, it appears as if the social communications company’s CFO Anthony Noto may have done it again, this time with a cryptic message tonight, in which he apparently wrote to someone: “No just limited.”
Hmmm. I have no idea what this means in any way, but I have a distinct feeling the tweet has nothing to do with turkey and/or pumpkin pie.
If it’s indeed another snafu, Noto has been here before. And just days ago, after he sent out a tweet earlier this week about a potential acquisition target in what appeared to be a DM that was tweeted out publicly and very accidentally. As Kurt Wagner reported, it was quickly deleted by Noto, but not before many captured a screen grab of the tweet.

The new potential Noto mis-sent DM was also found by Josh Weinberger, as you can see below, although the original tweet is now gonzo.

I properly sent a successful direct message to Noto and other Twitter execs to determine if it was another DM-fail or not.
