En popüler mikroblog olan Twitter, sahip olduğu devasa
popüleritenin sonucu olarak çok çeşitli kullanıcı kitlesine sahiptir. Twitter
kamu yararına olacağı inanılan hesapları elle doğrulamaktadır. Doğrulanmanın
doğal bir sonucu olarak kullanıcılar, bu hesapların meşru kullanıcıları temsil
etmesinden ve yetkili kullanıcılar tarafından yönetilmesinden dolayı bu
hesaplara güven duymaktadır. Elde ettiğimiz en iyi verilere göre, Twitter
doğrulanmanın gereksinimlerini hiçbir zaman açıklamamıştır. Bu çalışmada, doğrulanmış
kullanıcıların karakteristiklerine ışık tutmak amacıyla bu çalışma kapsamında Python
programlam dili tabanlı 297.798 doğrulanmış Twitter kullanıcısı içeren güncel
bir verisetini kullanan bir yazılım geliştirilmiştir. Bu veriseti üzerinde
yapılan analizler sonucunda doğrulanmış kullanıcıların kamuya açık olma,
kişiselleştirilmiş bir profile sahip olma gibi ortak karakteristikleri açığa
çıkartılmıştır.

Twitter, the
most popular microblog, contains a large variety of users as a result of its
huge popularity. Twitter manually verifies the accounts which are deemed worthy
of public interest. As a natural consequence of being verified, users trust these
verified accounts since they represent legitimate users, and are managed by
authorized users. To the best of our knowledge, Twitter has never revealed the
requirements of being verified. In this study, in order to shed light on the
characteristics of verified Twitter users, a software,
which is based on Python programming language that utilizes a recent
dataset, which consists of 297,798 verified Twitter users, was implemented
within the scope of this study. The characteristics of verified Twitter users such
as being public, and having a customized profile were revealed as a result of
the analysis of the utilized dataset.
