   I used something similar for a theme recently, but it involved a lot more code. This will be useful.

   How about comment for each favorite? What do you think?

     Nope, this code will pull the tweet into the WordPress theme, not the database, you’d need to find a plugin or do that manually.

     Liking the shortness of the code, used something similar recently, was just a lot longer…

   I added a custom field option to this snippet. Will allow users to specify custom rss from facebook, twitter or where ever.

   <?php // Get RSS Feed(s)
   	include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
   	$feeds =  get_post_meta($post->ID, 'feeds',true);
   	$rss = fetch_rss($feeds);
   	$maxitems = 5;
   	$items = array_slice($rss->items,0,$maxitems);
   ?>
   
   <ul>
   	<?php
   	  if (empty($items))
   	    echo '<li>No items</li>';
   	  else
   	    foreach ( $items as $item ) : ?>
       	  <li>
       	    <a href='<?php echo $item['link']; ?>' title='<?php echo $item['title']; ?>'><?php echo $item['title']; ?> </a>
       	  </li>
   	    <?php endforeach; ?>
   </ul>
