BackType

"Hi Andrew, Our search API isn't currently offered using Superfeedr. Just the user feeds -- we'll be adding a realtime search API in the near future."

"Hi Lisa, The goal of BackType Connect is to help publishers and readers see all the conversation around the web about a post or topic. Having said that, you bring up some great points that we’re very aware of. I should point out though, that the default setting is only to pull in conversations from Digg, Reddit, FriendFeed, and news.yc (where the publisher can be sure the conversation is relevant and adds values). Conversations from other blog posts is disabled initially for many of the reasons you mentioned, including relevancy and quality. In fact we constantly encourage publishers to leave the setting that way, because there are very few cases when anyone benefits from the comments on other posts out of context."

"Thanks for the review, Frederic. We have a retweet widget as well, but I agree it would be great to add that functionality here. Re Disqus, JS-Kit: we actually don't consider ourselves competing directly as they are essentially replacements for a blog's comment system; we have good relationships with both companies. Disqus already uses BackType to surface tweets in their "Reactions" feature; they'll be integrating the filtered tweets soon."

"The valid values for wp_schedule_event recurrence are: hourly, twicedaily, daily. So we run 12 hourly crons 5 minutes apart. Let us know if we missed something."

"We’re addressing this in our next release. Thanks for your patience"

"Thanks! We should be updating the plugin soon with a key new feature, so stay tuned Appreciate the feedback as well"

"Followed up via e-mail"

"It should be working fine in 2.9"

"Thanks for the kind words! Glad you’re enjoying Tweetcount :)"

"Great to hear; sorry we didn’t get back to you sooner!"

"The link will begin working as soon as we retrieve your comments. These are the first comments BackType has ever found for your URL. From now on, you’ll have a comment author profile on BackType. Thanks for your interest."

"I think the secret to successfully integrating tweets into the comments section of blogs is doing just that — finding the tweets that actually have substance. Using BackType (or BackTweets) you quickly see that most (re)tweets for blog posts just contain a post title and shortened URL. GigaOM recently did something interesting where they only display tweets containing a special hashtag that's assigned to each post. It's a nice way to separate the links and RTs from actual commentary."

"We’re working on that and more. Stay tuned"

"Thanks for the feedback — we'll definitely make improvements to our e-mails soon."

"Thanks, Zee! I miss the black too. We’ll figure out a way to bring it back somehow"
