Twitter follow Url
twitter, twitter-follow, url
Solution
You could use OAuth. That will direct the user to Twitter for authentication and to authorize your app to act on their behalf. It will then give you a token that you can use to make API calls for that user.
It's not a terribly simple thing to implement and might be more trouble than it's worth for your situation, but the option is there. Look for a library for your platform of choice, they exist for most languages.
Problem
Hitting the url `http://twitter.com/home?status=<status_msg>` takes us to the twitter login page and once logged in, the status is already filled in the input box, ready to be tweeted. Is there a similar url for following somebody on twitter ? something of the form `http://twitter.com/follow?user=<user_to be_followed>` so that when this url is hit, the user is taken to login page(if not authenticated), and after a successfull login, the logged in user becomes a follower of the user in the url.
