Without plugging into another twitter app or anything you could probably open a URL to do the job.

 - (IBAction)followMeOnTwitter:(id)sender {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=<twitter_screen_name>"]];
 }

Just replace the end of that URL with your twitter account name, and it should open to follow that account in the browser. Be sure to connect your button to "followMeOnTwitter" by including it in your view's .h file.
