A "dm" is a "Direct Message". This is a private message that will only be seen by the person you send it to and won't appear on either yours or their timeline.
To send a dm, the person you want to message must be following you. Then go to their profile and click the 'message' button on the right hand side bar underneath their number of followers etc.
A direct message, or DM, on Twitter is a message sent to another user through the site's private messaging function. It is similar to sending an email, or private message on Facebook. Unlike most Twitter interactions, DMs are completely private, and can only be seen by those included in the message.

It is impossible to send a DM on Twitter to someone who isn't following you. The user has to follow you before you can send them a DM.
This was not a real answer.
You can DM all people on Twitter. The problem with DM'ing some people is because they have not yet followed you. Until a person follows you back you will remain unable to DM them. Once they have followed you back you can do both public (@) and private (DM) conversations. Unless, of course, they stop following you for whatever reason. The moment they do that you no longer will be able to DM them. Good reason to maintain Twitter etiquette and playing nice on Twitter else you be unfollowed. Or worse, even blocked. If you receive to many blocks your Twitter account can actually be suspended. All part of the way the world works on Twitter.
This is unlikely as he receives so many.
You can use Direct Messages (DM) to do this. However, the person you want to DM must be following you.
'DM' stands for 'Direct Message' - a message that you can send to someone privately without it appearing on your timeline.
I'm not sure but he DM's (Direct Message) them on twitter!! =)
Maybe. DM him on twitter maybe and find out?

When a user says they are DM you they are Direct Messageing you. This is a type of private chatting. None of your or their follows can not see the chat
