    Hi Martin, your plugin is the best I’ve seen. It works flawlessly. However, one feature I cannot seem to find in any Twitter plugin is the ability to pull in Notifications – ie Re-tweets of my posts; Mentions; New followers; Likes; etc. Is there a way to implement these in your plugin via a shortcode or otherwise? Thanks for all you do. I appreciate it!

    Hi Linda,

    Currently Rotating Tweets only displays Tweets – so it could only easily manage Mentions, Retweets and Likes. It would have to ‘fake’ a Tweet for each new follower (which should, in theory, be possible).

    In terms of suitable API calls, currently there’s only support for Mentions, Retweets and Followers. I can’t see an easy way to get likes. I’d also have to do some coding to use the API calls for GET statuses/retweets_of_me and GET statuses/mentions_timeline – which aren’t currently supported – and then combine the two – and also make sure the caching was suitably brutal (since you’re only allowed 15 calls every 15 minutes!).

    And then I’d have to write some entirely new code to pull in followers (via GET followers/list)and convert them into Tweets – and then combine them with the other two feeds!

    So it’s nearly possible – but quite a project!

    Martin – I agree with your response. I’ve searched everywhere and it is clear that no developer is offering this type of plugin – paid or free!

    Thanks again for all your work.
    Linda
