Microblog Twitter has started to roll out a verification application process & reviewing public applications for verification on Twitter.
Over the next few weeks, everyone on Twitter will start to see the new verification application directly in their Account Settings tab.
Twitter said the blue badge is one of the ways to help people distinguish the authenticity of accounts that were of high public interest. It gives people on Twitter more context about who they’re having conversations with so they can determine if it’s trustworthy, which our research has shown leads to healthier, more informed conversations.
