Facebook Finally Rolls Out Verified Accounts
Facebook will finally introduce a verified-account feature for personalities today, although their real names must still be used when they sign up, but it differs from those of Twitter and Google Plus in one major way: Users will not see any kind of badge or other graphic indicating that the account is verified.

TechCrunch reported that verified users’ real names will still appear on the about page of their profiles, and that they have options for the way their names are displayed on the profile, offering up Lady Gaga as an example: Her name could appear as “Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga),” or simply as “Lady Gaga,” with “Stefani Germanotta” appearing on the about page.
Verified accounts will enjoy priority in Facebook’s suggestions of users to subscribe to.
