    I’m wondering if I could use this to bring in… say, Twitter (tweets)? I ask because twitter has its limits through API calls hourly, BUT in essence this could pull in tweets because it doesn’t use api but the regular http as if one was surfing correct?
    Obviously I would need the whole page, but I could parse just latest tweet correct?

    Sorry, bernardberry646, I completely missed your question.

    Yes, any web page available to browsers can be pulled in so long as the server the page is requested from allows it to happen.

    Local Syndication, however, doesn’t run JavaScript. When page content depends on JavaScript, what’s inserted into the WordPress page may be different than expected, perhaps even surprising.

    Will
