Google Plus gets Twitter likeVerified Sign for Celebrities

When Google created their new social network Google+, they borrowed a
major feature of Twitter. It was
allowing users to follow other users
without the need of other users
following back. This obviously leads to fake accounts of celebrities and
sometimes some celebs might have
common names. For example, there could be many
people named Larry Page.

Twitter solves this problem with profile verification. A simple tick mark that shows the account is the real deal. Google+ has now borrowed this verified sign for popular accounts. Google is verifying accounts of
celebrities and public figures.

They are also adding people who are being added to a lot of ‘Circles’. Google also suggests that the “verification” could
be expanded to other accounts in the future. Here is video on Google+ Verification for profiles.

I am sure a lot of bloggers with online presence who are not exactly
celebrities would like to verify their
profiles on Google+.
