Twitter has grown to be a crucial tool for connecting with audiences, sharing ideas, and promoting goods and services for both private individuals and businesses.

However, it has grown more difficult for users to distinguish between reliable sources on the platform due to the rise of fake news, misinformation, and online scams. In response to this growing concern, Twitter has announced an expansion of its verification program and other initiatives to improve the platform’s credibility.

Twitter 2.0 introduces new features that promise to improve the platform’s user experience and the caliber of the information provided there. The extension of Twitter’s verification program, which includes a new self-serve application process that makes it simpler for users to request verification, is the most noticeable development.

Understanding the changes in Twitter’s verification and credibility initiatives can help users achieve their goals and gain the trust of their audience, whether it’s an individual trying to develop their personal brand or a company trying to expand its online presence.

In this article, let us look at Twitter 2.0’s new features, how they can help users, and what and how can it increase your credibility there.

Twitter will start eliminating “Legacy” blue checkmarks next week

Get ready for the next phase of Twitter 2.0’s subscription revenue push, with the platform stating today that ‘legacy’ blue checkmarks would begin being canceled as of next week.

According to the tweet above, Twitter wants to encourage users to start paying for their blue ticks in order to increase the number of Twitter Blue and Verification for Business subscribers. Twitter’s also alerting blue tick account holders with this in-stream notification.

Though even then, Twitter’s experimenting with a new option that would enable subscribers to not show their blue tick, if they choose – because even Twitter is moving to acknowledge that it’s not the indicator of reputational or exclusivity that it once was.
