Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Introducing the Follow Button
Hi Pankaj, That feature is unavailable for the Follow Button -- in general, the Follow Button will tell you little to nothing about the end-user -- only the factual interactions they took while engaging with the button and subsequent intent flow are available. @episod http://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=episod - Taylor Singletary On Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 6:36 AM, Pankaj Rohankar pankaj.rohan...@gmail.comwrote: Hi, As I told I am using Twitter Follow Button and my question is, How we can detect that logged in user is already following that twitter id or not ?

Hi Zazie, On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 1:43 PM, Zazie Lavender zazielaven...@gmail.com wrote: This is great, but I worry that this might easily be abused. The code for a follow button seems written in a way that allows the user to redress the link however they please. I see the main intent url as being easily extracted for no-js users; but this means someone could take that URL, redress it as a link someone would WANT to click on and fool people into clicking such a button to boost their own follower counts. We have anti-CSRF protection to prevent the follow endpoint being used outside of the button. We also have malware detection in place so we can quickly shut down abusive sites.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Introducing the Follow Button
Hey Jason, Just like the Tweet Button, the Follow Button is using twitter.com session. You cannot specify an interacting account. It will always be the user logged in on twitter.com. Cf our User interaction flow for more details: https://dev.twitter.com/pages/follow_button#user-interaction Hope that helps, Arnaud / @rno http://twitter.com/rno On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 1:54 PM, noriguard jinbok...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Arnaud, Can I use this button for a user who is signed-in at a web service via oauth, even when the user is signed-in at Twitter as other account or signed-out?
