You know those sites which offers Twitter services that brings you to a Twitter page where you have to click “Allow” to give permission to access your account?
Now, those scripts people create for their Twitter services… is it a specific coding language that do that? Or can any scripting language access people’s Twitter, Facebook or Myspace accounts?

Various languages can be used http://dev.twitter.com/pages/libraries
It basically uses something called OAuth to authorise data being sent between the app to twitter. its not down to the language used in the app but that the app gives the correct data to twitter.
Facebook also uses OAuth http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/ http://developers.facebook.com/docs/
