[twitter-dev] Does twitter allow apps for getting followers by following each other?

I see a few apps doing this, some have been there for months. Basically they allow users to login and click a button to follow other users on the list, and then the other users might follows you back. I am wondering is that allowed?

I think Dewald's concern is very valid - and even though OAuth might solve it, the reality is that most (if not all) desktop and mobile apps are using Basic Auth today for various reasons, so if you implement this policy as described, there's a pretty high risk that many users can be locked out of
