Twitter is working on a way for people to request a blue checkmark, again

One of Twitter's most inconsistently applied features will hopefully make more sense in the near future.

Jane Manchun Wong, who frequently reverse-engineers apps to discover upcoming new features, figured out that Twitter is planning to give users a way to request verification. The social network then confirmed the development to TechCrunch. What this means is that regular folks will be able to ask Twitter to give them a blue checkmark to verify that they are, in fact, themselves.
