Did a celebrity just send you a
friend request or are you friend with one? Now you can know for sure, thanks to
a new Facebook feature: Verified Pages.
Are you a celebrity with a large online audience? Soon, Facebook’s
verification feature will determine just how famous you are. Facebook announced on Wednesday that
it’s rolling out a new verification feature.
Much like verified accounts on Twitter, verified Facebook
pages will now display a small blue check mark beside their owner's name on the
social network. The check mark will also appear beside the individual’s name in
search results, as well as anywhere else on Facebook where it appears.
Facebook's verified status won't
be offered to everyone. Verified accounts will be specifically available to
public figures with large audiences, namely, celebrities, government officials,
popular brands and some journalists.
What
do you think about the new feature? Are you happy Facebook is verifying the
authenticity of some accounts? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
