You can only start a conversation with someone who follows you. But Twitter isn’t just a place for individuals only – brands, companies, celebrities, or communities are all on the social network too. That’s why Twitter allows you to customize the options for direct messages, letting you receive messages from anyone, which is colloquially known as open Direct Messages.
