Anyway, where Twitter screwed up, was that over time being verified became a form of online feudalism, where there were the Check Mark People, and those rest of surfs who couldn't get verified. — PolitiTweet.org

(Fun aside: the fake accounts actually ended up luring the *real* celebs to Twitter. Someone started a fake Shaq account, and when real Shaq heard about it, he signed up as @the_real_shaq. This also led to lots of famous people putting "Real" in their username — ahem, Donald.) — PolitiTweet.org

There is without question a business in handing out blue check marks, but doing so without the verification part, negates 14 years of a symbol that, for better and worse, said someone or something was "real," and not a parody or fake. — PolitiTweet.org
