 * I get this when i try to activate the plugin. I even tried to deactivate all 
   other plugins. I am using WP 3.7.1:
    “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC
   in /storage/content/89/170089/martingustafsson.net/public_html/wp-content/plugins/
   keyring-social-importers/keyring-importers.php on line 62”

 * My guess is that you need to upgrade what version of PHP your server is using.
 * I think you’ll get that on anything below PHP 5.3, which is the minimum requirement
   for the importers (and for Keyring, which they’re based on).
 * Do you know what version of PHP your server is running?
