# Does NOT parse hashtags!

 * I wanted to follow a certain hashtag. However, although the widget description
   mentions this function explicetly it has never been implemented.
 * This widget will only fetch tweets from your own account or your lists. It is
   NOT possible to display the results of a hashtag query.
 * I spent 2 hours fiddling around with this app until I found a 2 years old support
   thread where the widget author confirms that his description is acutally misleading.

 * I’m sorry if you feel like the description is misleading. It reads:
 * > A widget that properly handles twitter feeds, including **parsing [@username](https://wordpress.org/support/users/username/),#
   > hashtag, and URLs into links**
 * I feel like that’s pretty clear, but I’m always open to rewording it if someone
   has a better or clearer way to state that (I am admittedly not a wordsmith).
