DM Fail, Direct Messages That Are Accidentally Posted To Twitter

DM Fail is a website that lists Twitter direct messages that were accidentally posted to Twitter. Some of these are quite funny and many very embarassing.

I agree with Mike that it’s another reason not to send DM’s, which as many of you know are my least favorite thing about Twitter.

dmfail is already being gamed pretty heavily by those who’ve figured out how to manipulate it. The site is quickly becoming a parody of itself. Some funny stuff in there between the pranksters, the occasional real DM and outright dmfail spam.

DM fail was cool until it got well known. now it’s just full of people intentionally sending funny things to DM.

I love DMs and have sent and recieved nearly 10 thousand of them. just don’t screw up the “d” and it’s fine. i’ve never ever sent a DM publicly on accident.

What is Twitter? Is that one of those “All Your Base Are Belong To Us”-type things?
