I love this addon, but whenever my notficiations pop up they don't scroll so I can't see the whole tweet. I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the skin i'm using or the addon.

Could be the skin. I've never seen that problem, and that is something handled by XBMC regardless (I just feed it the text and XBMC handles the behavior)

Is there a option to get tweets just from specific account?

Do you mean tweets mentioning a certain account or only tweets that have been posted by that account? Either way, just go to twitters website and play around with the search function. Anything that is possible with the search on Twitter will also work on this add-on (this add-on just constantly searches and if something changed displays a notification )

So this has been broken for about a month now apparently. I've been away from XBMC for a while now and well frankly it just didn't get any love. Sorry about that. Anyway, I just submitted a fix, and the new version will also display profile images too so that's cool.
Sorry again for the inconvenience, it should be in the official repo soon.

Twitter feeds add-on is going to be removed soon. Sorry everyone who likes it, but the way I scripted it out was creating a noticeable load on the twitter servers. Enough that they investigated. They said they actually really like it and might even help with coding a fixed version, but scraping their site violates their Terms of Service. So the current version must be removed.
In order to get it back online I must rewrite it so that it uses the official twitter API instead of scraping the site.
Sorry everyone for the inconvenience. I can't make any promises on whether or not I will get it converted to use the API instead.

Really hope you get it re-coded.
Thanks for all the effort!
