It's not perfect, but looking at only 'verified' users cuts through about 95% of the chaff (although you do lose many excellent non-verified people, naturally).

But if you discover you're followed by a handful of your favorite famous programmers, maybe a VC or two, things like that.. it could be useful to know you might be able to take advantage (in a nice way) of those connections some day.
- mittermayr 12y agoand, what peter said, exactly. and especially keep in mind: I didn't mean to push this out to you guys as users necessarly, initially was thinking of getting some tech/implementation feedback rather than market testing this. the incentive for creating this little product was mostly kindled by many larger accounts I host at fruji.com who asked me to get them the data faster and that's all they'd need for now, just a list of their verified accounts (as a means of pre-selecting). i personally also fully agree that there are many, many folks out there without a verified account who provide tremendous value. this really is just one niche approach. one page in a large report basically.
