<ul>
<li> using <strong>on/off username</strong> from your phone only stops notifications to the place the command comes from; you'll still collect a person's updates on the web.</li>
<li> using <strong>follow/leave username</strong> from your phone is the same as <strong>using on/off username</strong>.</li>
<li> following someone from a phone for the first time will also cause you to follow them on the web.</li>

<li>you don't have to use <strong>on/off username</strong> from the phone, you can also set individual notifcations from a person's profile page, or check your <a href="http://twitter.com/friends">following</a> page and manage all phone notification settings there.</li>
