Twitter one of the most popularly used social networking site where users get to interact with each other and their beloved celebs. If you are one of them, you must have noticed a "Verified Profile" badge on profiles of celebrities, popular figures, politicians,etc. With that a natural thought of getting the same Twitter Verified profile badge on your own account comes in your mind, but where to start for that? Without giving any false impressions, It is not easy or a one click form form to be filled for having a chance for this, its a different case.

The basic criteria that Twitter lists in their own help article says ,"Twitter proactively verifies accounts on an ongoing basis to make it easier for users to find who they’re looking for. We concentrate on highly sought users in music, acting, fashion, government, politics, religion, journalism, media, advertising, business, and other key interest areas. We verify business partners from time to time and individuals at high risk of impersonation.

We do not accept requests for verification from the general public. If you fall under one of the above categories and your Twitter account meets our qualifications for verification, we may reach out to you in the future."

Steps to get Twitter verified account

The best way discovered for this very purpose is interlinking of your Twitter account and your own website. Yes in addition to being popular and active, not at all by number of followers, this is a very important criteria. If you happen to have a personal website for you, then you can simply use the Twitter follow button on your website. With that there are more chances of proving your identity and hence qualify for the badge.

I can cay this method would be the best based on the search results shown by Google. This is possible if users link their Google+ profile with their websites and vice-versa and in turn Google awards them with authorship markup in search results. Though it does not get you a verified Google+ account, instantly but yes there are some good chances for that too.

So to sum up this article here is what you must know and read-

1) The verification process is done regularly by twitter especially for popular personalities in order to prove their identity and not allow users to interact with a false account.

2) If you are concerned about your privacy and your Twitter account is not public, well there is a Big no for a verified profile badge.

3) Get your account linked from your official website or company website. Also list your website/the same page on your Twitter account too.

4) Remain active!

5) If you are an influential person, you can talk to your sponsors, advertisers or some one from twitter to get the process favorable for you.

6) If you are a normal users, well its rather impossible. Better keep on using Twitter for fun.

Apple is very close to announce the next generation iPhone along with iPad mini and we have already discussed a lot about what iPhone 5 may have that it will completely attract the smart-phone market towards Apple. In this article today, i will be making a much awaited comparison between iPhone 4S which was release last year and iPhone 5 to be release in few months in terms of the improvements and advancement that is very much expected. Being slated soon for an announcement, the official specifications would be out as well, but the tech arena is filled with so many confirmed features of the next iPhone. Let's talk more about them in detail.

iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4S Display

iPhone 4S had a standard screen size of 3.5 inch with the amazing retina display which took everyone shell-shocked. The quality of display was so very clear that many manufacturers tried to introduce the same display concept in their smart-phones. iPhone 5 is very certain to have a increased screen size from the previous releases. The expected size would be a 4-inch screen with a retained retina display. Furthermore, the quality of smart-phones is now also getting attached to their screen size and 4 inch would be a welcome change.

Camera

Apple perhaps has the best quality of camera being offered in smartphones till date and hopefully would continue to be a trademark in its future series. The 8MP iSight primary camera of iPhone 4S was a great one and there are great chances of primary camera of iPhone 5 to be 8 MP with CMOS image sensors. Apart from that the front facing camera should be enhanced in terms of quality for better video chat and self clicked images. That should involve a change from VGA to HD with an expected resolution of 1080p.

Technical Specs

NFC (Near Field Communication) and 4G technology seems to be already included. Samsung Galaxy S3 had included NFC and there is no reason one can imagine Apple won't introduce it. As for the software part it should be iOS 6. With a larger display, 4G support and more RAM , the battery has to be better and should offer more time as compared to iPhone 4S.

Hardware

The hardware end seems to be getting more changes. With a more slim,curved body & sleek look, it appears to be moving away from rectangular and flat shape of iPhone 4S. The speaker grills are bigger than in iPhone 4 and placed at the bottom. A smaller dock connector would be provided with a relocated headphone jack. The traditional home button is expected to get a change in shape with a more oval like look.

Processor & Battery

Dual core A5X / Quad-core A6 processor would most probably form the core of the next iPhone 5. iPhone 4S had 1GHz Apple A5 processor with 512MB RAM. Apart from the dual core processors forming the core, RAM would be increased to 1GB. Ofcourse that hints towards an increased display size.
