Twitter may be expanding the elite “verified account” tag that has denoted as an “influential user.” Such verified user status previously was done on a discretionary basis in the base. Verified users are typically found in areas such as music, acting, fashion, government, politics, religion, journalism, media, sports, and business. The role Twitter plays in using its verification as a method to crown status has now been opened up -- all with a goal to help users find interesting voices. In making the tag more pedestrian, will it also lose its elite status?
