If you have a domain for email you can pipe the email to a php file to strip the line with the user name and presto call it from there on.

In cpanel hosting there is an option to filter emails which can be “piped” to a file.

Let the php do it's magic instantly. Hmmm…

A better way of doing this would be to make the follow script check POP3 email, find any “.. is following you” emails and follow them. Put it in a cron at regular intervals (say, every 5 minutes) and you're done.

The friendships/create method is not subject to API rate limits, but there is a limit on the number of people you can follow in a day or hour or something. I think its 2000 per day at the moment.

Chris — have you sorted out a version that doesn't hit the API? Not sure how you could do that. Would love to hear how you are doing this.

Twitter Karma blows up on me – too many followers.

Dan – it definitely takes an API hit. I’m working on a version that does NOT hit the API.

This is interesting. I wonder how much of an API hit this takes. I bet you probably run this at night when you’re not going to be using Twitter that much anyway.

I don’t know enough about PHP and BBEdit yet to be able to implement this on Windows.

Seems like a lot of work when you can just use Twitter Karma. http://dossy.org/twitter/karma/
