    I wrote this a little earlier regarding the announcement: "Working toward the sustenance of some inexplicable business jargon? Fortunately for you, Twitter has yet to define a robust plan to subvert your work. So, to alay any budding concerns, you get a plucky blue badge for your product." Ridiculous.
