I applied to be verified when it was opened up to anyone. Before that, the cool kids were magically verified through backroom deals and favors.

I didn't know that they opened it up - it is still very shady, though.

Twitter employs an army of contractors who decide who to verify or not based on their petty whims and personal political views.
