Twitter Script – Who’s following you - Power Shell For Twitter

image There are some much better programs for this like http://twollow.com/, but if you are are programmer that uses powershelll then you might really enjoy this.

I don't believe in the whole auto follow thing, but hey it works for some people....

All you have to do is copy and paste the below script at a PowerShell prompt – change the Username and Password first! When it runs it populates two arrays $notfriended and $notfollowed (just type the names at the prompt to list their contents).

There’s an example at the end (commented out) of how to iterate over the $notfriended list to add the people who are following you but you’re not yet following.

There is a rate limit on the Twitter API. If you have *a lot* of friends / followers, you may hit it. The call to Get-TwitterLimitStatus gives you a short summary of your current limit status.

Usual rules apply, no warranties, limited testing, limited error handling, use at your own risk, yadda, yadda, yadda…\
