Facebook Now Verifies Accounts

Verified Pages and Profiles
Five years after Twitter launched an account verification service, Facebook has done the same, allowing companies and celebrities to display a verification badge on their page.

Verified accounts display a white tick within a small white circle alongside the page owner’s name, not only on the page itself, but also in search results.

According to TechCrunch, users don’t need to apply for verification: if they fit Facebook’s criteria for entry, they will receive a notification informing them that their page has been verified by Facebook, and the circle logo will appear.

As on Twitter, Facebook Verified Pages will only be made available “to a small group of public figures (celebrities, journalists, government officials, popular brands and businesses) with large audiences. This update is rolling out to profiles as well.”

Have you noticed any Verified Pages? What do you think?
