Our Take
Beyonce, Chris Rock, Pearl Jam and many others had the beautiful blue check mark next to their Twitter handles. Why hadn’t more local governments obtained the Twitter distinction? The answer was, in large part, local governments were blind to the verification process. This changed one balmy April morning when Chad Doran released the secrets to becoming Twitter verified. (Special thanks to Luke Stowe.) Chad’s article was proof of the power and the need for local government to share what we are doing.
As Chad writes, “Here’s hoping your journey to #verifylocalgov isn’t nearly as adventurous as an Indiana Jones movie!”
