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.

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, gave Larry and Sergey a $100,000 check in August 1998. With this investment, the newly formed team was able to upgrade from the dorms to their first office, which was located in Susan Wojcicki's garage in the California suburb of Menlo Park (employee no.16 and now CEO of YouTube). The environment for those early mornings and late nights was comprised of clunky desktop computers, a ping pong table, and a bright blue carpet. (The practise of keeping things colourful is still practised today.)

From Google's first server, which was made of Lego, to the first "Doodle" in 1998, which featured a stick figure in the logo to inform site visitors that the entire staff was taking a day off to attend the Burning Man Festival, things were unusual from the start. Don't be evil perfectly encapsulated the spirit of our purposefully unconventional approaches. The business quickly grew in the years that followed, adding engineers, a sales team, and Yoshka, the first canine employee. When Google outgrew the garage, it eventually relocated to The Googleplex in Mountain View, California, where it now has its current headquarters. The decision was made in the spirit of trying something new. Yoshka also did.

The constant pursuit of better solutions remains at the centre of everything we do. Today, Google produces hundreds of products, including YouTube, Android, Gmail, and, of course, Google Search, that are used by billions of people worldwide. Our enthusiasm for creating technology for everyone has remained with us from the dorm room to the garage and even to the present day, despite the removal of the Lego servers and the addition of a few more company dogs.

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....
