It would be useful to have the option not to import my own twitter comments. (As usually I will tweet about my new posts, but it’s rather pointless adding these tweets to the post). That is, specify my own twitter account and have an option to disregard tweets from that account. (Or on that note, have an option to disregard tweets from a list of accounts).

It works like a charm. For the future I would like to suggest including comments from the Notes on Facebook a rich source of comments for me. Thanks for a great plugin! It works like a charm.

When importing comments from twitter, can't you insert the user's profile picture from twitter as the comment avatar? 2. It would be useful to have the option not to import my own twitter comments.

One issue, though, that could be useful for me (and probably for some more) - my blog is in Hebrew, so it would be nice if there was a way to customize the texts / links so they would fit to the blog's language. Will this be possible?

They are now part of the normal comment stream and as such I can't display them in different tabs.

There is an option to separate BackType Connect comments from the native comments on your blog (they are pushed to the end of the comments section). Additionally, if your Wordpress theme's comments.php uses <a href="http://adambrown.info/p/wp_hooks/hook/comment_class" rel="nofollow">comment_class</a>, then you can add CSS to style your BackType Connect comments differently. Feel free to follow up with me via e-mail (chris at backtype) and I'd be happy to help out. Thanks for trying out the plugin.

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 21:19:56 +0000 http://blog.backtype.com/?p=460#comment-1889 I replaced the Tweetback plugin with Backtype Connect, because TB didn't seem to pull all tweets from the Twitterverse. One thing I noticed though is that Backtype Connect (unlike TB) doesn't separate tweets from regular comments. Is there any guidance on how to modify the comments.php file for that, and perhaps even the css file?
