## What it is
A WordPress widget plugin that displays Twitter feeds in widget-ready areas, parsing @usernames, #hashtags, and URLs into links. It supports multiple feeds, shortcodes for embedding in posts, and configurable display options like profile images and relative timestamps.

## Use cases
- show a twitter feed in a wordpress sidebar
- embed tweets in a wordpress post with a shortcode
- display multiple twitter feeds with different settings
- parse hashtags and mentions into links in a tweet feed
- show how long ago a tweet was posted on my site

## When to choose
- you run an older WordPress site (PHP 5 era, WP 3.0-4.3) and need a simple Twitter feed widget
- you want shortcode-based tweet embedding with per-instance settings
- you need a self-hosted widget that formats tweet text into links

## When to avoid
- you use a current WordPress version - the plugin was last released in 2016 and is untested beyond WP 4.3
- you need OAuth flows compatible with the latest Twitter/X API changes
- you need a JavaScript-based or block-editor-native tweet embed

- function: web-scraping, parser, templating
