One thing I want to point out is that--at least for me and the many other *nix geeks I know who also Twitter from a command line--it has nothing to do with "some headless unix machine that doesn’t have a proper browser…" We use it because it's QUICKER! I have at least 15 very nice browsers, thank you, but NONE of them is as quick as typing: twitter [my message] (I named the shell script I wrote <b>twitter</b>.) So, yeah! :) I’ve been using this method and just stumbled upon your page while looking for similar methods.

You would also need some way of detecting that someone followed you either by querying the twitter API or by using some sort of email filter to trigger it when follow notification comes in. So what you are trying to do seems a bit more complex. :) Yes, you could use it to send the auto-reply but that’s just half of the problem.
