Twitter CFO Anthony Noto appeared to have accidentally tweeted what was intended to be a direct message about acquiring a company to his thousands of followers.

Twitter did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment, however Noto can at least take comfort in knowing he's certainly not the first or last person to suffer a direct messaging fail.
