Re: [twitter-dev] availability of API
Hi Taylor, Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, your reply is exactly what I wanted. I am trying to implement those APIs in my application now.

This is all possible with both the API and @Anywhere ( http://dev.twitter.com/anywhere ). If you went with an API-based integration, you'll need to implement OAuth for the authentication leg of your integration ( http://dev.twitter.com/auth ) and, provided that you've made it abundantly clear to the user that the act of approving the integration will result in them following a user, you'd use the friendships/create API method http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/friendships/create/:id -- I'd recommend asking the user to take a direct action to perform the follow operation though, rather than automatically doing it.
