<h2>Noteworthy Facts</h2>
<ul>
<li> using on/off username 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 follow/leave username from your phone is the same as using on/off username</li>
<li> following someone from a phone for the first time will also cause you to follow them on the web</li>
<li> there is no way to stop following a person on the web without
visiting their profile and removing them. The off, leave, stop, and
quit commands will only disable updates for the device(s) from which
they were sent.</li>
<li>you don't have to use ON/OFF username 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>
