Twitter has implemented changes to its verification process and badges, significantly altering the way users can receive and maintain verification on the platform. In response to users' concerns about impersonation and misinformation, Twitter's new verification process seeks to enhance the platform's credibility and reliability.

Twitter's new verification criteria is now focused on seven categories, including government officials, companies, brands, non-profit organizations, news and journalism, entertainment, and sports. Depending on the category, Twitter's rules for badge holders vary, with some emphasizing specific industry designations or roles. For example, news and journalism-related accounts must provide proof of compliance with journalistic standards, and entertainment-related accounts must meet Twitter's engagement criteria.

While Twitter's new verification criteria intends to strengthen the platform's integrity, it is worth noting that not all eligible accounts may receive a badge. Twitter has designed the new criteria to feature a limited number of badges, leaving the majority of accounts without badges. The company has emphasized to users that the badge is not an endorsement or a guarantee of a user's identity or activity.

One of the significant changes with these updates is the introduction of the daily user challenge. Badge holders must continue to abide by Twitter's rules and policies and maintain their eligibility standards. Twitter will frequently pose an industry-related question to badge holders, and individuals must respond within 24 hours to keep their badge.

Could we consider Twitter's new verification process as a significant step towards a more trustworthy platform in providing reliable information?

Love to read your comments and share your thoughts about that!

A tribute to all trucks drivers!

At Al Jazirah Vehicles, we witnessed a lot of brands seizing the opportunity of Covid-19 pandemic by thanking all kinds of heroes. Whether those heroes are from the healthcare staff or Police Officers.

But we saw a different kind of heroes that others couldn’t see. we wanted to pay tribute to the real unknown soldiers. The truck drivers who are driving on the roads, leaving their families behind, risking their lives and shifting gears, moving the world forward and delivering us hope. For us those were the real heroes.

How we executed that idea, that is the interesting part, everyone had or still have a favorite super hero, so we decided to turn it to a movie trailer in order to relate the film with the current situation. And because of the lock-down it was impossible to go with a full production to bring this idea to life. So we relied on available stock footage. The main element in that film that we depended on to deliver the message was the script.

And the results were amazing!!

You’d think Facebook would be faster at copying itself. Five years after Facebook Messenger took a cue from WhatsApp and Voxer to launch voice messaging, and four months after TechCrunch reported Instagram was testing its own walkie-talkie feature, voice messaging is rolling out globally on I…

eSIM

Everyone heard about the latest news from apple launching several new products but especially the new generation of iPhones supported with eSIM technology.

What is the benefit of this new technology that Apple embraced to mobile users? Let us first understand what eSIM means. An eSIM is exactly what it sounds like — an electronic, or embedded, SIM. Instead of a physical card, SIM technology is built right into your phone. It's a small chip that's used to authenticate your identity with your carrier/service provider. It is also known as eUICC (embedded universal integrated circuit card).

Having a mobile supported by eSIM technology will enable you to switch between carriers/service providers without the need of changing physical SIM cards. It will help frequent travelers, businessmen and anyone who uses more than one carrier SIM card.

Unfortunately, eSIM technology isn't supported in every country. Currently, 7 countries in Europe support this technology which are Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Spain, and the UK. In addition to Canada and the US in North of America, and India in Asia.

Are we going to see a major shift in mobility & telecom? Let us see.
