How to Set Up Auto DM in Twitter
Direct messages, or DMs, are used in Twitter to send private messages to people who follow your account. Many Twitter users frown on automated direct messages, and some even consider them spam. While Twitter does not recommend using automated direct messages, it does not forbid them, and there are no regulations against using them. Most users use them only to greet new followers or send important messages. Social Oomph and Twitter DMer allow you to send auto DMs to new followers. TweetManager will send the same DM to up to 250 followers at once.
