ok everyone get ready to pop the champagne because today marks 1 year in 🪩🍾

over the last 12 months, we shipped 100+ features in total, most of which we’ve built in public and with a tight feedback loop, giving you all the chance to weigh in, suggest ideas and help us improve.

much more to come!

our goal is simple: to make X the coolest and most enjoyable place on the internet.

this includes maximizing prosperity for content creators, enabling better/more authentic conversations, and giving you more tools to express yourself.

to be real for a sec…we truly appreciate each and everyone of you. thank you for being on X!

Verified Orgs solves the verification problem in a much more democratic way.

Rather than X deciding someone is notable enough to be verified, the institution the physicist is affiliated with verifies that the person knows what they're talking about.

The physicists making these breakthroughs probably don't have a lot of followers (if they're on X at all) and never would have been 'notable' enough to be verified before. Once affiliated with an organization, they gain the clout of their institution whenever they post,

In other words, an institution could, overnight, verify that their faculty member (who wasn't previously on X) is a member of the faculty, and that person can immediately become a trusted source on X. This would never have been possible with the old system.

Let organizations be the arbiter of truth rather than X. Many big organizations are sleeping on the potential of Verified Orgs to give credibility to their staff and boost the reach of their message.
