Ryan, yeah, check out how TweetLater is doing it - http://twitter.com/optout. They require a user to follow @optout, and @optout follows the user back. Then the user just needs to DM @optout and @optout detects the Twitter username and prevents any of their users from sending auto-dms to the users on that list.

You might want to take a look at how TweetLater does it: http://www.tweetlater.com/optout -Chris Thomson On Wed, May 20, 2009 at 5:06 AM, Ryan Tuosto wrote: > How could a user opt out for this? > > It only happens one time, and automatically when they follow a user back. > > I'd be happy to enable such a feature, just not seeing how it can be done.

[twitter-dev] Re: How would I automatically DM to a person once theyve followed me?
How could a user opt out for this? It only happens one time, and automatically when they follow a user back. I'd be happy to enable such a feature, just not seeing how it can be done.

Please, if you do this and allow other users to use it, enable opt-out for those that don't want to receive the auto-dms. We're going to start promoting these services that enable an opt-out for this stuff on SocialToo soon (let me know if your service provides this - TweetLater is the only one I'm aware of so far unfortunately). It's general good practice and gives people choice. @Jesse On Mon, May 18, 2009 at 3:57 PM, RTuosto wrote: > > Trying to automate this feature. > > Something like how TweetLater has where when a user follows me it > automatically sends them a direct message to welcome them as my friend. >

Near real time is not usually a noticeable difference from real time. If the API is polled every minute no one will notice the slight delay.

Well how does TweetLater do it? They don't have access to client emails.

You can call it as often as you want. Just make sure you read the rate limiting docs on the api wiki.

A) parse the new follower emails. The FAQ has info about that. B) call status/followers and the newest ones will be at the top of the list.
