Verified Followers

Wow. You guys have done a great job using some behaviorial hacks: 1) This is all vanity of course, with an air of curiosity. Definitely a great incentive to anyone to want to know 2) You manage my expectations that it might take awhile and use it to collect my email. 3) You use a progress bar which generally makes people more patient. 4) Let me see the top and then charge me a tweet to see the rest...giving people something before you ask them for something. I also just had a number of "really?" surprises, like Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista follows me for reasons I do not know (Pirates and Red Sox fan who rarely tweets about baseball). Nice job!

i just want you to help me be important enough to get a verified stamp on my twitter page

Sup- happy to answer any Q's about it!

Oh @shanereiser

this is a #FirstClass twitter problem

It's really meant for the 1%, yes. But it is fun to find out your biggest followers.

It makes sense to say "results may take a while, pls give us your email". Felt a bit betrayed though to discover that it didn't even start until I gave my email.
