 * 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](https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/statuses/retweets_of_me)
   and [GET statuses/mentions_timeline](https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/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](https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/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
