Unfollow.rb

This is my first scripts with Twitter REST API

What does it do?

It unfollow on Twitter all people aren't following you, except for

• Verfied Accounts
• Whitelisted Users in 'whitelist' file

And can track who has unfollowed you.

Script is very configurable, this is a default example of a settings.rb:

@ck = "consumer_key"
@cs = "consumer_secret_key"
@f = ".tokens"

@dataFile = "data"
@cache = true
@cache_time = 600

@use_colors = true

@verbose = 2

# change these with your whitelisted users
@whitelist = ["alecover", "marcobianchiweb"]
