Oh, cool. I didn't think to check the mainstream news :) I sort of assume that's the case -- I think most important people or large organisations have someone to handle the twitter (although I understand @sweden is just a random Swedish resident picked anew each week :)).

The tick in a blue circle is supposed to mean Twitter have verified his identity, too. Although I suppose there might be scope for a well-chosen background image...

Ah! That's quite a good idea, assuming it they verify them sensibly (and it seems like they do), I'd not heard of it.

Although you're right, it can be hacked :)
