What is it like to become Verified on Twitter? This video explains how it works

Let’s be honest – while we may not want to admit it, somewhere deep inside, we all want that little blue ‘Verified’ checkmark on our Twitter accounts. Most of us will probably never get it, but we can at least live the dream vicariously through entrepreneur Anil Dash.

Dash recently joined New York comedian Hari Kondabolu and his brother Ashok onstage to talk them through what happened when Twitter decided that he really was who he said he was.

Even if you’re already familiar with the strange little Q&A process Dash had to go through, this is a fun nine-minute watch.
