    This is what the verified blue check looks like, it's a blue check next to your account name, signifying that you're a notable or famous person.

    I still can't believe Twitter hasn't heard of Alan Page, the more I think about this, the more angry and bitter I become.

    Alan Page is a person who should be well known and admired for his football career and for what he has done after football (becoming a lawyer, a judge and eventually a justice on the Minnesota state Supreme Court).

    An amazing person and life.

    Yes, he is a legend, I am digusted, and this has absolutely nothing to do with me being banned from Twitter a few years ago!

    Alan Page was one of the greatest players who ever plaayed in the NFL and not just on the defensive side of the ball either. I suspect some sort of political agenda is also involved here. I would love to see the list of NFL players who have been verified in comparison. (I don't use Twitter).

    I suspect there will be outrage over this and Twitter will grant him the blue check. I can't believe Twitter hasn't heard of the purple people eaters, Twitter must be run by a bunch of softies.

    I sighed up for Twitter at one point and found you could nothing on it unless someone made you part of their clique. I dropped it in short order. They sent me emails for weeks asking me to log in, all of which went straight to the trash bin. Now that I know more about it, I want nothing to do with it.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Being famous on social networks is like being rich at Monopoly
