For anyone else who didn't know what the "blue checkmark" means in this context:
Twitter et al. apparently us the blue checkmark to indicate they have vetted the identity of that social media account, and they vouch for @ev[0] being Mr Williams while @finkd may or may not be Mr Zuckerberg.[1]
At least on Twitter, it has a "first-prize ribbon" look to it, as if being the blue-checked Mr Williams were an achievement superior to that of the second (red) Mr Williams and the others on down.[2]
