Who is a celebrity?
It's a great idea but I do see a lot of problems in the execution. First and foremost, who is a celebrity? And another thing, how is Twitter going to verify I am who I say that I am, since it is real easy to photoshop a name onto a scanned document.

Perez Hilton has a verified Twitter account. Why?

I know his site is popular... but is he considered a "celebrity"? Or are Twitter users concerned they're not following the real Perez?

Nice post, thanks for letting me know :)
There's an article at
There's an article at TecCrunch about this saying that they don't really verify verified accounts (LoL). Michal Arrington's account has got that Verified Account sign and they didn't ask him to verify his account.
Interesting.
That's pretty interesting.
Twitter probably has a handful of users who they know is legit without asking... just my opinion of course

I think it makes a lot of sense.
It should be like getting your PayPal account verified - such as inputting some sort of data to verify. It's just a means of knowing for absolute sure you're dealing with a quality user.
How is Twitter going to deem

Sounds like a lot of bruised egos are going to happen.

This is exactly what I was thinking.
Someone who has celebrity status here in Kentucky (John Calipari, who has 175,495 followers) ... would he be considered a celebrity in California? Probably not.

John Calipari a celebrity in California? Considering his Memphis Tigers knocked UCLA out of the NCAA tournament a couple months ago, he may not be a "celebrity", but likely a "villian". ;)
HaHa. Forgot that Memphis

Forgot that Memphis bumped UCLA out that year. Hopefully he'll get a chance to do the same now that he's at UK ;)
