Twitter launching verified accounts

**Luq** · 06-08-2009 07:59 PM

Twitter users who are tired of falling victim to hoaxes may soon receive some help. Twitter are planning to launch a verified accounts program that should cut down on incidents of impersonation. The experiment will begin with public officials, public agencies, famous artists, athletes, and other well known individuals, before others.

Does it make doing site promotion through Twitter harder?

No, it is just a program that will cut down the incidents of impersonation on twitter. The program will stop all forms of hoaxes on twitter users accounts.

It is great news, but I can not figure out how will it be possible for the regular person (not officials and stars) to get verified.

In the meantime my following list contains only people I've already verified myself.
