Turn off SMS updates when the IM bot can see you
I figure that a lot of people who use Twitter use a combination of a desktop client/IM and SMS updates when they're not at their computer. Thus I was wondering if you could add a setting that would pause updates via SMS when the IM bot can see that you're online so you don't get the updates twice.

Inappropriate?ability to configure sms updates vs. other updates on a subscription by subscription basis would also be an excellent mod to your SMS notification service.

I asked for this too -- although I had a slightly more specific idea in mind. See http://gsfn.us/t/7j5 -
Inappropriate?Julian, I don't know if this is still the behavior now, but I do know Twitter was doing what you described last year.
Back then, I had both IM and SMS devices defined on my account. On my sidebar, I indicated that I preferred to have updates delivered to IM.
When I had my account setup this way, Twitter sent updates to IM whenever I was logged in to IM, and automatically switched delivery to SMS whenever I was logged out of IM.
I only changed my setup when Twitter introduced the 250 msgs/week limit for non-US users (since I blast through that quota in less than half a day.)
