I want a simple website that lets a reader come to my website, register an account(and then link the account to their twitter account.
Then I want them to be able to put in a Twitter username, and then my website will have their account follow every person that is following the username they put into my website.
The script should follow Twitters ToS, so that Twitter doesn’t ban the user using my service(for things like following too many people too fast or whatever).
I imagine the best way to do this project(and the best way to keep the load on my server down) is to have the website use Twitter’s API to find out who is following the person they enter into the website, and then create a ‘queue’ for that person. So that every 5 or 10 minutes it will follow another 5-10 more accounts. Again, I’m only assuming this will keep the load low on my server(and might help my users from being banned on Twitter), so if you know of a better way to do this project I am all ears.
I want this website so that users can go to my site and put in someone else’s twitter account, and have my website follow their followers. So for new users to Twitter, if they know of a famous person that is popular in a certain niche, then they can follow their followers, and their fresh blank account will be relevant to a niche they are interested in.
