Twitter's #280characters is the new verified blue tick, because people are super jelly they don't have it

Twitter has started allowing a handful of its users to post tweets of 280 characters — double its longstanding 140 character length.

But because only a "small group" of users is part of the trial, everyone else left out of the party is jealous as heck.

After the announcement, Ellen Degeneres promptly tweeted this funny:

Dan Katz, of Bar Stool sports, has perhaps encapsulated exactly what everyone's jealous of, in this tweet announcing he's part of the blessed few:

The rest of us lowly tweeters might take comfort in some of the reactions that have brewed over the hours since the news broke.

Some are taking out their rage at being left out by hating on Twitter itself. By tweeting about it.
