To be liked you first need to like others. -- the wise.

Life is short. How can I make smart use of my time to express my respect to people I follow on Twitter promptly without making myself exhausted? This script helps you login into your Twitter account, and click the favorite button on tweets that appear on your timeline. Sounds wonderful huh?

Usage

It is pretty straight forward.

1. Make a text file 'username' containing your login email.
2. Make a text file 'password' (preferrably only readable to the script run-as user) containing your login password.
3. Just fire and see!!

% python like_your_timeline.py

Of course you will need to install some dependency packages first. If you have some prioror experience working with web scraping, this will not be a problem for you.
