A Simple Twitter DM Enhancement

One of the most irritating things I find about Twitter is interacting privately with people who don’t follow me. Twitter presumes that people who know each other follow each other - which is quite often the case. However, on many occasions, I receive DMs from people I follow, and who don’t follow me back, and I need to relay private information to them.

So, what do I do? Do I try finding out their e-mail address ? Do I scour the interwebs for their presence on other social networking websites? Do I ask them to follow me?

Instead, what if I’m allowed one DM as a reply to a DM I receive from that person? Surely I can’t be spamming because it’s a reply to a DM I received. This feature will increase the usability of Twitter DMs, while not contributing to the increasing spam on Twitter.
