Will Twitter PLEASE take down the message about upgrading to IE8, or at least give me the option of getting rid of it fro my account permanently. I've seen this message now, and made my choice of browser/version, so don't need it coming up every time I log in.

When can we expect to be able to *receive* Twitter updates by phone in the UK? I want to use this with my students to keep them updated with my course, but at the moment it's only possible to send rather than receive updates...
