Simple questions that don't deserve their own thread

TheBigBean

If I want to send a private message to someone on twitter, do I need to (i) sign up with an account (ii) follow them (iii) send the message. If I do that, does the person receive an email, or would they only see it if they are logged in?

I'd like to contact someone, but they haven't posted on Twitter for over a year, and I am wondering whether it is worth the effort.

Don't use Twitter very often so will probably be corrected but l think the answers are:

i) Yes
ii) Yes (may depend on their privacy settings)
iii) Will depend on their settings. They may get a notification to their phone from the app and possibly an email telling them they have a message.

Falls over at (iii). Not allowed to send messages. I guess there is a setting they have chosen to not receive messages. Email is a lot easier.

They usually need to follow you and have "allow messages" i believe.
