1. Combine all the “now following you” emails from Twitter in Mozilla Thunderbird.
2. In Thunderbird, filter all these to a separate folder.
3. On your disk, open the Twitter folder in BBEdit.
4. Extract all the lines which have the word  “is now following”.
5. De-dupe, then dump these into a text file.
6. Strip out the Twitter usernames in parentheses.
7. Copy and paste that list into a plain text file for example follow.txt.
8. Run fu.php (a php script) to process those user names.
9. Thats it !

fu.php is a file with BBEdit. i would suggest you to use it once every day or so to sync up new followers. i run this file through Mac OS Terminal. This process looks complex, but in reality, it takes all of 2 minutes to do at most.

Here’s the source code:

<?php
// curl twitter follow script

set_time_limit(3600);

function follow($username)
{
$url = “http://username:password@twitter.com/friendships/create/$username.json”;

if (!$curld = curl_init()) {
echo “Could not initialize cURL session.n”;
exit;
}

echo $url;
if (!$curld = curl_init()) {
echo “Could not initialize cURL session.n”;
exit;
}

curl_setopt($curld, CURLOPT_GET, true);
curl_setopt($curld, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curld, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curld, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output=curl_exec($curld);

//echo “Received data: nn$outputnn”;

$pile=json_decode($output,true);
return $pile;

}

$handle = @fopen(”follow.txt”, “r”);
if ($handle) {
while (!feof($handle)) {
$users[] = fgets($handle, 4096);
}
fclose($handle);
}

foreach($users as $key=> $value){
$user=ereg_replace(”n”,””,$value);
$result=follow($user);
print_r($result);
}

?>

It is a simple script that does exactly what it says to do – that car behind you. To install the script, download this script, unpack it, then edit. Is your username and password Chirk in those places and in all-black screen-names you want to add them. Then add the script to cron job somewhere, for example cron.hourly or cron.daily, and it will automatically follow everyone who follows you twitter! If you have any Bologna followers, you can easily add to your black list and the script will be ignored.
