Thanks for that. This is what I am trying to achieve.

We would have a company account on Twitter (@companyname)

Our application allows 5 users to enable disable the security alerts /
images via email or sms.
They click a checkbox to turn on and off and this is stored in the
database and determines whether the alert is sent.

To integrate into twitter the client would only be interested in any
alert messages sent by DM (as these would be an alert on his device).

We would not want all clients to see all other alerts (for obvious
reasons) .

Is the above possible ?. I think it would work if we had a different
twitter account for each client but this is impractical.

Once this is implemented we would then develop the app to incorporate
twittering alerts /images to friends etc.
