Another twitterite sent me a message thanking me for an invite code to an alpha test. This is a code that was sent to me by the developer for my personal use.
I did not make that code public. In fact, that person's using the code caused it to die for me. Not their fault at all. It was The System.
After much examination with that person's cooperation, I was able to determine that all of my DM's, Direct Messages, on Twitter were now open on my public timeline.
This goes against the private guarantee of Twitter's DM's
What this tells me is the system is way from perfect. It tells me that no personal information should EVER be entrusted to a Twitter message of any kind.
I had to go in and manually remove all of the DM's in my account.
The ones that were important, I copied into Evernote's file on my hard drive.
If they go public, I will lose all faith in anything on the internet, including email, being safe from exposure.
