how to get verified on twitter?

[Brett]

i think it would be pretty cool if i could show my friends that i actually could get verified and they are all getting emails that twitter wants to verify them. are there any ways i can do this?

No.

"Twitter proactively verifies accounts on an ongoing basis to make it easier for users to find who they’re looking for. We concentrate on highly sought users in music, acting, fashion, government, politics, religion, journalism, media, advertising, business, and other key interest areas. We verify business partners from time to time and individuals at high risk of impersonation.

We do not accept requests for verification from the general public. If you fall under one of the above categories and your Twitter account meets our qualifications for verification, we may reach out to you in the future."
