Question

I am building a site that has a points system for the user. I would like to award them points if they follow the site on Twitter but don’t really know where to start.

In essence I would like the following to occur:

1. User clicks link inside of admin that takes them to twitter
2. They follow the site
3. Once followed it redirects them back to the site

Anyone got ideas on where to find a guide on this?

Thanks
Nick

Answer 1

check out web intents @ https://dev.twitter.com/docs/intents#tweet-intent – it has sample code. Also logon on to your twitter account and go to https://twitter.com/about/resources/buttons#mention the first one is probably the one you’re most likely to use though.

Good luck!
