7. Twitter autofollow script

This is a risky one and I have to admit that I haven’t tried it yet.  What it helps you to do is search for twitter users that have tweeted with any particular term you set, and autofollow that twitter profile.

8. Script to access Twitter if blocked at your country/office

Twitter is very popular, some governments don’t like it. They use many different ways to block this website , this script makes it impossible to access to the website. It uses a proxy mechanism that is supposed to bypass the blocks. And its open source.

9. Dabr – Twitter for Mobile Open Source Script

Dabr is one of my favorite mobile twitter clients, its easy to use, allows re-tweets and uses the Oath gateway to authenticate.
