 * Hello,
    May I ask you a question. Could I use your plugin to create a “custom
   shortcode” for social streaming. So the custom shortcode would be for :stream“
   this account”… (the networks usernames/Ids.. – which would come from a “custom
   field/value” – example a twitter or facebook name).
 * So, if the “custom field” have /value” in shortcode – then stream “this account”
 * Thanks for your time and advise.
    Fred

 * Thanks for taking an interest in our plugin. You can create as many feeds as 
   you want with usernames/ids. The one thing to think about if you are allowing
   people to generate their own feeds (if thats what you are thinking) is Rate Limiting
   the access tokens . Meaning they will stop working if there are to many hits 
   in an hour.
 * We have thought about dedicating more time to this area in the future. Can’t 
   give a timeline or a date of completion but this may be possible/ more feasible
   in future versions of FTS.
 * Thanks,
    Justin

 * Hi Justin,
    Thanks a lot for replying.
 * Is the “Rate Limiting the access tokens” –
    is for: a Site or is for: usernames/
   ids?
 * And what/how much is “to many hits /hour”?
 * Thanks Again,
    Fred

 * Rate Limiting the access tokens = per site.
 * When you setup your apps for any of the social networks you will find an area
   that shows what your limits are.
