About Twitter Profile Labels

Twitter uses visual identity signals like labels and badges on account profiles to help distinguish between various account types and to give more context about them. While some of these labels are generated by Twitter, others are the result of user activity. Here is a list of the labels and badges that are frequently seen on account profiles. Applied Profile labels by Twitter Checkmark in Blue The blue checkmark can indicate one of two things: either that a user's account has been verified according to Twitter's previous verification standards (active, notable, and authentic), or that the user has an active subscription to Twitter Blue, the company's new subscription service that launched on iOS on November 9, 2022. The active, notable, and authentic criteria that were applied in the previous process will not be reviewed for accounts that receive the blue checkmark as part of a Twitter Blue subscription.

New Facebook Feed Customization Options

Facebook's main function is to facilitate communication and community interaction. People are engaging more frequently through open and relatable material, such as fresh recipes or nearby walks. Facebook suggests posts from authors and communities you might not be familiar with for you to enjoy and debate along with updates from your friends, Groups, and Pages. Through machine learning, what you see in your Feed is specifically tailored to your interests.

Customize Your Facebook Feed

 

In order to help you find the information that is most pertinent to you, we are unveiling new ways for you to tailor what appears in your Facebook Feed. On posts from the people and communities you're connected to as well as posts that Facebook suggests to you, you may now choose to show more or less of them. The ranking score for that post and those similar to it will momentarily increase if you choose to Show more. Its ranking score will temporarily drop if you choose Show less. We are enhancing the intelligence and responsiveness of our artificial intelligence systems by providing more options for incorporating direct feedback into Feed ranking.

This will occasionally be displayed on Feed posts. Soon, you'll be able to select whether to display more or fewer postings by tapping the three dots in the top right corner of the post. Additionally, we are beginning to test this feature in Reels.

We're also looking into ways to let you control how much content from your linked friends, family, groups, pages, and public figures appears in Feed. Feed Preferences contains these tools as well as Favorites, snooze, and reconnect.

You may see more of what you want and less of what you don't by using features like these to help you find more of the stuff that is valuable to you. We'll use direct input to iterate on our strategy as we do with every product update we make.

How Google was born?

At Stanford University in 1995, the Google story first begins. Sergey Brin, a current student at Stanford, was chosen to give Larry Page a tour while he was considering the university for graduate study. According to some accounts, they didn't agree on much during that initial meeting, but by the following year they had formed a partnership. They developed a search engine from their dorm rooms that used links to gauge the significance of particular Web pages. This search engine was given the name Backrub. Backrub was renamed Google shortly after that (phew). The name, which was a pun on the mathematical formula for 1 followed by 100 zeros, perfectly encapsulated Larry and Sergey's goal of "organising the world's information and making it broadly accessible and useful."  Over the following few years, Google attracted the interest of Silicon Valley investors in addition to the academic community. Google Inc. was founded when Andy Bechtolsheim, a co-founder of Sun, g...

Cinderella Was Not Invented by Disney!

Century-long narratives from numerous cultures are woven together to create the real Cinderella.   You're familiar with Cinderella. You do, of course. She is a character we learn about through osmosis because she is a part of the cultural ether. Princess that she is. She is decked out in a lovely dress, glass shoes, long white gloves, and a shiny headband. To meet and dance with a very handsome prince and get home before the clock strikes midnight and her carriage turns back into a pumpkin, she overcomes the hardship of her evil stepmother and stepsisters, who treat her like their maid.  However, that isn't the true Cinderella. That is the Cinderella from the 1950 animated film and the recent remake that is currently playing in theatres. Not everyone can agree on who the real Cinderella is. She is a figure who connects the majority of human cultures and centuries of storytelling. And occasionally, her lost slipper isn't even made of glass. Greeks were the first Cinderellas....
