DMFAIL: Direct Private Messages Become Public

As you may know, Twitter has several keyboard shortcuts. For instance, we can send private messages quickly by typing: D user message.

If, by mistake you typed or believed that DM is short for direct message, and wrote "DM user message", your messages were sent to the public stream.

DMFail is a new Twitter service that grabs all those messages and reprints them on its site for everyone to see, which can be quite a horrible experience for the people involved.

Here are more Twitter keyboard shortcuts:

Use the arrow or page up/down keys to navigate in the tweet list. twibble also has some shortcuts for numeric and qwerty keyboards (List describes twibble Version 0.8.6):

[1] or [t]: send a tweet

[5]: jump to first tweet
[7]: Mark selected tweet as a favorite
