Twitter is reopening the verification process for its blue checkmarks, which have become a status symbol of credibility and authenticity among those seeking to influence online conversations. The social-media platform said it started rolling out the new verification process Thursday and it will be made available to everyone on Twitter in the next few weeks. “With today’s application launch, we’re also introducing new guidelines for verified accounts on Twitter,” the company said on its blog.
