We're working to restore IM services to all users. Thanks for your patience!

It's been nearly 3 months since IM went down. It's been 6 weeks since we had any kind of update. Please stop thanking me for my patience, it's run out. It's a bit disingenuous to continue using this in your marketing and more than a little frustrating that there is no hint of a solution.

Please, just remove the notice entirely. It's not currently offered by Twitter, it has been removed from us long-time tweeters, and is not available to new Twitter users.

I've got a few suggestions for the Twitter emails notifying users of their new followers:

#1: (this has been mentioned in the past): Include following/follower numbers to easily detect spammers.

#2: Include the bio. I just discovered 5 awesome people who I would've followed if I read their bio when they originally followed me. I just discovered someone awesome like that who has been following me for over 6 months!

What do you think?

PS: Anyone else think it's odd that it says "Follow me at ..." in the direct message emails because you have to be following them already for them to be able to direct message you?

Allow users to place followed twitterers into one or more groups. For example, users could place all news related feeds into a "News" group, and put local friends into a "local" group. Users could then make mass changes to notification preferences. For example, the above user could elect to not receive notifications from the "local" group but still get feeds from the "news" group.

Users could elect how to handle multi-group feeds, either allowing feeds that have notifications from at least one group enabled to be sent, or requiring them to have all groups enabled.

This could be combined with http://getsatisfaction.com/twitter/to...
to allow users to set certain groups to only notify over IM and allow other groups to notify over SMS
