Get ready for a massive ego boosting week! Yes, you, me, everyone can now be verified on Twitter! Of course, you will have to bring your profile up to date and be able to prove you are who you say you are, but reports are already showing a larger than usual number of user being Verified, and who know, you may be next!

And following on the ego boosting storyline, Snapchat has also quietly added a new feature that will help users discover more accounts to follow, thanks to you. Yes, it is your good taste and amazing network that can help your friends discover new great content! That’s a great step forward for Snapchat, but I feel there is still a lot missing on the platform and this week I shared my opinion with you (read below.)
On other news Facebook brought a nice update to its LIVE feature, notably allowing both streamers and viewers to moderate reactions and comments during live streams. This plus being able to stream in full screen will certainly bring a better user experience.

So are you ready for this week’s Top 5 trending news on We are Social Media?
![]() | Everyone Can Now Get Verified On Twitter– For some, it’s a way to protect their online presence. For others, it’s a sign of social recognition. No matter what the reason is, many users wish they could get verified on Twitter. Yes, that blue tick-mark means a lot to us simple Twitter users. And you know what? You too can get it now! |
![]() | Facebook Live Video Gets More Immersive, Enjoyable, And Longer – Facebook is putting a lot of energy into Live, and it isn’t afraid to show it! The feature is probably one of the most important in the company’s arsenal at this point – after VR of course. The company is bringing yet another update in the hopes of luring more users away from Periscope/Twitter and make Live more immersive and enjoyable. |
![]() | Snapchat ‘Suggest’ Is What Will Make You Famous – When Snapchat launched Memories a couple of weeks ago, the company also added a very interesting feature, but they just forgot to tell us about it… (typical): you can now suggest a friend to follow someone. |
![]() | The 3 Things That Are Really Missing On Snapchat – While I love the creativity that the platform allows, there are a few things that were missing during my experience. And I believe that you may be missing them too. So I decided to write this up, and maybe Snapchat itself will read this, and even share its views on them – Hello Snapchat? |
![]() | Twitter Gets 72 New Emoji Just In Time For World Emoji Day – Emoji and social media… one wouldn’t be the same without the other. Yes! Everyone loves emoji and it’s hard to find someone who hasn’t ever used one. And now, users on Twitter get to use 72 new ones as part of the release of Unicode 9.0. |
