Facebook Introduces Verified Pages
Facebook began
authenticating the pages of famous folks and big brands at the social network
on Wednesday, in a move that follows in Twitter's footsteps. 'Today we're
launching Verified Pages to help people find the authentic accounts of
celebrities and other high-profile people and businesses on Facebook,' the
California-based Internet giant said in a blog post.'You'll see a blue badge
next to their names. 'Verified Pages display small blue circles with a white
check mark in the middle to indicate that identities have been confirmed.
The blog post used a
verified Facebook page of singer and actress Selena Gomez as an example. 'Verified
Pages belong to a small group of prominent public figures (celebrities,
journalists, government officials, popular brands and businesses) with large
audiences,' Facebook said. 'This update is rolling out to profiles as well. 'Twitter
has long featured similar verification badges that have become status symbols
of sorts at the globally popular one-to-many messaging service.
