Double Content in Feed ReTweeter

Hey Josh,
Can you please bring back the checkbox that will only retweet the title of the feed? We use twitter as a feed and it works perfect for older ones we have but any new feeds we setup ends up doubling the content since twitter uses the tweet as both the title and content. This is a big change that renders your service pretty much useless for us. Other than that, we love how rock solid everything has been, nice work.

Cheers,

Chris

    Josh,

    Thank you so much. We've been slowly moving from the DM bot to the Feed
    bot which allows us to setup a feed that is looking for a specific user
    and hashtag. Its perfect.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    P.S. Suggestion - It might be nice to be able to sort our bots
    alpabetically. When you start getting as many as we do it's hard to find.

    Josh,

    Just out of curiosity how did the transition from free to paid service
    go? Did many folks bail? I'm asking because eventually we plan to do the
    same with BarTweet.

    Chris,

    I pushed the alphabetical ordering fix just now. The bot list is now sorted by state and then username, that way all disabled bots float to the top for immediate attention.

    This is a public ticket, but I will briefly discuss a few numbers in here about launching. It is still a bit early, as I am just now disabling accounts, but we converted around 0.2% of users to paid accounts so far. I will let you know how it changes as we disable more bots/accounts.
