I'm not sure I'm in favor of this -- one reason myspace grew so much is that anyone could create an account and be anyone. facebook took more of an "ID"/professional approach. I guess twitter wants to be more professional and court more businesses/personalities to twit all day long.

I can definitely understand the crack down. There are so many fake celebrity profiles on there it is a shame! Too many fake profiles claiming to be the celebrity then when a fellow twitter questions them they sometimes admit they are not the real celebrity or continue to play games! Believe me I have read some really heated responses regarding fakers! Yes by all means get it cracking!

I have to agree with the crackdown myself all growth is not good growth. And I give twitter more respect with the fact that they are attempting to produce real numbers now.
