VIP of the online world?

Took a while to get my third post on Singleblackmale.org…

Forget about your Klout score, the word on the silicon streets is… are you verified? There’s already scams sites claiming to get you verified for a large fee.

How do you like that slap in the face, general public? The same people who made Twitter successful…

No one really knows how Twitter chooses who to verify but if you are verified, you just joined the mile high club, are swimming with the big boys, must be a Very Important Person or brand. You joined the super elite and not even the 1% can claim to be verified. You are the 0.001% and you are truly elite or as us geeks say l33t.

Twitter verified accounts is a total black box mystery (it really shouldn’t be).  Something which bugs me, the same way those people wonder up to the front of the queue at a nightclub or are sat sipping champagne in the VIP area. Say it with me…

Screw those very important pratts… didn’t that feel good?

We all hate those people… except when its you and your friends of course…!
