Sorry , perhaps I have not explained well my problem. I have done OAuth authentication, I can use Twitter API. But now I must add a link to my page that if the user click on this link I redirect to twitter's user profile. My problem is that if the user is not logged in twitter he has to do every time the login. I would ask if there is a way using the Twitter OAuth API to do a automatic login to Twitter so when user click on the link on my page he is automatically redirect on his twitter user's profile.
