On May , Facebook announced a new addition to its social networking site, called Verified Pages.
The company announced the development this way, and the image here (from Facebook.com) gives some visualization of what a Verified Page would look like.

Facebook has made an improvement by adding Verified Pages; however, the way it’s been done is too similar to the way it’s done at Twitter. (In 2009, Twitter introducedVerified Accounts, which is also marked by a small blue check mark.)
Due to the high number of fictitious accounts created for prominent figures in our society, Verified Pages on Facebook are long overdue. Nonetheless, it is important to note (as TechCrunch’s Darrell Etherington did) that Facebook introduced a different verification system last February, which allowed prominent figures to verify their account using a valid ID. As of today, Facebook has not shared with users how it will go about ensuring that accounts are official, but it is known that users may not ask to be verified.
Look at the examples here…the Twitter blue check mark and the Facebook blue check mark look pretty similar, eh?
