Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Tools for Twitter

All of Social's features (broadcasting, comment display, looking for responses on Twitter and Facebook and the ability to log in with Twitter or Facebook) can be disabled on Social's settings screen.
Tools for Twitter starts archiving from the time you enable it. It does not try to download your entire tweet history. However, there is code in Tools for Twitter that can be scripted to download and import tweets. You can put together the pieces with your own code to create the combination of features you desire. Here's an Gist to get you started: https://gist.github.com/3470627
The digest features never worked reliably and were removed in version 3.0. Another developer is welcome to make a plugin that uses the underlying features of Tools for Twitter to implement digest features.
These are no longer needed in 3.0+ since the default broadcast message is now fully customizable in the Social settings. Add your hashtags to your default broadcast message template.
Since Tools for Twitter no longer does broadcasting, this is really a question for Social. As noted in that FAQ, Social uses the built-in "short URL" feature of WordPress that supports any number of services via their plugins.
