i can't figure out what this is supposed to do.

is this for companies that have multiple PR accounts for different purposes or product lines? or is it so you can enroll employees' twitter accounts and they'll show up with some flair that they're part of your company?

because i can't really see how the former is useful (well, at least before "verified" lost all meaning), and the second seems like a nightmare that no large enterprise would actually want. i work at a large company and they actively discourage us from using social media at all in an annual training course, and especially for work related stuff unless we get it cleared ahead of time.

I also think the idea is more like the ability to link things like employees and support accounts to the primary official one. So not just specific instances of the main brand account, but also the C-suite accounts and the customer service and stuff. A lot of companies start new accounts for new products or events coming up too.

lol yeah, exactly. As far as I can tell this was never needed in the past because if you claimed to be with a company and were verified, people could believe you. But now they have to set up a new system because they nuked verification.

I kind of read that tweet as "hey, if you're GiantCorp and want a list of the personal accounts of all your employees that we can dig up, we're working on that!"

Like, picking Coke as a random GiantCorp, I see maybe 20-30 Coke Official looking accounts. I am sure Coke's IT knows what all these accounts are, etc, has passwords and 2FA and redundancy because they are better at infosec than Musk (lol).

They don't have a list of all 40,000 Coke employees personal accounts, some of those people might say nasty stuff about coke!

I could be completely misinterpreting the product being offered here but this is what it sounds like to me.

It's a way for companies to network-verify, since twitter won't do it for them.

So if @Coke_Zero tweets something, but isn't a part of "Coca-Cola Company" then something might be off

This sort of feature would require actual human resources to make. Something they seem to be short of right now.

There are solutions in this vein out there, but nothing quite this draconian, though I'm sure Elon would love to be able to do this to his employees.

Wait, won't that mean that hacking into a corporate account means you can 'verify' tons of others really easily?!

This seems like the first sensible thing Musk has done. Creating an enterprise product that they can charge, say, ~$20k-$50k-ish/year per enterprise would generate a ton of money for Twitter.

Whenever someone tweets about a problem with a crypto exchange, in the replies there's an avalanche of scammers pretending to be customer service people from that exchange. This feature would theoretically help stop this kind of scam.

i don't think that's what this is a about. also, no company would actually want this, especially if it's visible to the public. the last thing a large company wants is all 50,000 of their employees suddenly becoming public spokespeople.

At this point the organization is so gutted and so indiscriminately that not only can you not fill seats, you probably have no idea which seats need to be filled. Twitter as an organization relies on its employees to bring value, either through their work in building and maintaining a code base that is maintained via specialty expertise and specific knowledge of its implementation, or the relationships that were built to its real customers, the advertisers. Even if you could find raw technical ability that could replicate what was casually thrown away in a pique of idiocy, you can't replace the institutional knowledge and accrued goodwill that has completely evaporated.

Ah makes sense. My MegaCorp only had to deal with losing tons of folk when WFH became standard and they slowly adapted, but had the benefit of being a stable place to work with a sensible CEO. Dunno how you recruit anyone even with a big salary if they don’t think the company will be around in a year and know the CEO would backstab them in a second on a whim.

Why do so many accounts on Twitter with hundreds of thousands or millions of followers get only a couple hundred likes on their posts? Do they buy followers? Bots?

Even Musk with 115 million followers in his current headline making post spree is only getting a few hundred thousand likes. I'd expect more.
