  • As we told you it would last week, Twitter has now rolled out a feature that lets you share tweets via direct message.

    “Twitter is already a great place for public conversation; now it’s also easier to privately discuss things you care about,” says Twitter’s Sachin Agarwal.

    Why would you want to share a specific tweet in a direct message? Well, instead of having to explain something to whomever you’re talking to, you can just send them the referenced tweet along with your commentary. I mean, dude, did you see what she tweeted about you? Just brutal.

    All you have to do to share a tweet in a DM is tap and hold the tweet you want to share, and you’ll see an option to “share via Direct Message”.

    This feature is going live today on iOS, Android, and the web.
