I have about 12 twitter accounts (don't ask!) ... but to explain, I manage a band's social media, and also in the process of trying to set up a forum.
For a long time I've wanted to set up a twitter tool which allows stuff like:
- Searching for certain groups/tweets/people
- Showing relationships between different accounts
- Suggesting people
However, primarily it will be used for:
- Automatically following certain people who tweet a certain word or phrase... no exact science, just to build a following
- Scheduling of tweets

In my brief research I've found tools like this. One of which is free for 10 tweets, the others charge.
I'm a newbie to python but within a day I got it tweeting and searching things. But I'd rather use PHP as I am far more used to that, plus also can use databases/my Linux server to build it into a more dynamic tool.
Can anyone tell me how much of a challenge I face with all this?
I bought the domain http://www.twintel.co.uk to run it off - it's for my own use, but wondered if in time I could open it up to donations (not business).
Thanks everyone,
