Twitter provides a great way to communicate one-to-many: the simple tweet. It broadcasts to your account's followers and potentially beyond. Some might miss your message or not get it when you want them to since you didn't use an invasive technique, but this is the core use case of Twitter, what it enables. You know users won't see all your tweets. Users know they won't see all your tweets. And then you act accordingly within that system. Better to adapt to this model then to try to adapt the model to what you want to accomplish -- bulk atomic messaging.
