Any account with a 'blue check logo' is a verified account. Twitter is beta testing solutions to establish authenticity of well known accounts so users can trust that the accounts they follow are legitimate. When viewing verified accounts, Twitter users know that tweets coming from well known personalities, organizations, government agencies, and others on Twitter are the real thing!
What kinds of accounts get verified?
Right now only verifying a handful of accounts, including well known accounts at risk of repeated, proven impersonation, and government agencies. Able to verify a small number of accounts now, but working on verifying more types of accounts in the future.
How do I get verified?
Log into the account you want to verify and fill http://twitter.com/account/verify_request. Make sure you're actively tweeting, your account is public, and your Twitter profile (name, bio, picture, website, etc.) is complete! Include the contact information of an agent/publicist/person that we can contact as an additional point of verification if necessary.
I'm using Twitter for business. Can I verify my account?
Not yet. Twitter is alpha testing verification for businesses.Check our business section for more updates!
I'm an agency/organization; how do I verify my client's Twitter accounts?
Every verification request must come from the account requesting verification. If you're an agency or organization contacting Twitter on your client's behalf, please be sure they've filled out the form and their account is public and actively tweeting. Find out more here!
What can I do to make verification faster?
Linking to your Twitter profile from an official website is the fastest way to get verified. (For example, The New York Times links to reporters profiles on their official website.) If an official website links back to your Twitter profile, send the link to the page. (A link to the exact page is best so we know where to find it!) Anything that will help us validate your will make things faster.
Why is verification denied?
If you're not tweeting, your profile isn't complete, you haven't included enough information for us to verify you, your account is protected or isn't at risk for identity confusion, the account may not be verified. More information about why accounts aren't verified is here. Because of the time and cost it takes to do each one, we're only able to verify a small number of people. twitter working on a better way to verify more people in the future!
I lost my verified badge! What do I do?
For security reasons, changes made to your profile result in the loss of the badge. If you've lost your verified badge, just log into your account and re-apply.

Election Candidate not getting back deposits...whats the scenario...
Indian election scenario we generally hear about is ...'this contestent will not even get his deposit'..so what is the meaning of contestent not getting his deposit...
First of all, for a candidate to contest in polls, he or she needs to submit their nomination papers at the EC offices in their respective states. Those whose nominations are found valid should have deposited Rs.10000 as a security Deposit if he/she is contesting for a Lok Sabha seat or Rs.5000 for an Assembly Seat. The amount to be deposited is half the above in the case of candidate under Schedule caste or Schedule tribe.
The amount deposited will either be returned back to the depositor or forfeited to the Government of India according to some conditions.
Conditions when the amount is returned back to the depositor:
The nomination made by the candidate if found to be invalid.
The candidate has withdrawn his nomination even though it is found valid.
The candidate dies before the commencement of polls.
The candidate lost the polls but secured 1/6th of the total number of valid votes polled in that election.
The candidate has won the election.
he candidate has won the election even if he/she has not secured 1/6th of the total valid votes.
Incase of a SC/ST candidate depositing Rs.10000 or Rs.5000, as the case may be, not knowing the fact that he/she has to deposit only half that amount, the excess amount will be returned back to the candidate.
Alternatively a candidate has to forfeit his/her deposit if they fail to secure at least 1 vote greater than 1/6th of the total valid votes.
This has cleared my long standing doubt..hope the same with all :)

Whats this TRP?
Television Rating Points - TRP is the criterion that indicates the popularity of a channel or program and this data is very useful for the advertisers
Presently, INTAM (Indian Television Audience Measurement) is the only electronic rating agency functioning in India. INTAM uses two methodologies for calculating TRP. First is frequency monitoring, in which 'people meters' are installed in sample homes and these electronic gadgets continuously record data about the channel watched by the family members. 'People meter' is a costly equipment, which is imported from abroad. It reads the frequencies of channels, which are later, decoded into the name of the channels and the agency prepares a national data on the basis of its sample homes readings. But there is a drawback in the technique, as cable operators frequently change the frequencies of the different channels before sending signals to the homes. It may be very misleading to read a channel according to a particular frequency even if the down linking frequency is same all over India.
Second technique is more reliable and relatively new to India. In picture matching technique people meter continuously records a small portion of the picture that is being watched on that particular television set. Along with this agency also records all the channels' data in the form of small picture portion. Data collected from the sample homes is later on matched with the main data bank to interpret the channel name. And this way national rating is produced.
kbps vs KBps - biggest confusion when you take Internet connection
The most common confusion caused by the similarity of KBps and kbps is when it comes to internet bandwidth and download speeds. People often complain that their ISP promised 512kbps connectivity but they are seldom able to download any file at 512 KBps. They fail to notice the difference in cases of the units and hence think their ISP is cheating them or offering them poor quality service. As mentioned earlier data transfer speeds are always calculated in terms of kilo bits per second (kbps) so an ISP connectivity of 512 kbps promises of transfer of at the max 512 kilo bits per second.
On the other hand, file size measure is always in Kilo Bytes and thus download speeds are always calculated based on how many Bytes per second are downloaded and hence Kilo Bytes per second (KBps). KBps and kbps are not interchangeable.
So an internet connectivity of say 512kbps can never achieve a download speed of 512 KBps. To calculate the maximum download speed of a “X kbps” connection, we need to use a simple formula as below.
Download KBPS speed = (Kbps value*1000) /8)) / 1024.
I.e. For a connectivity of 512 kbps
kbps value * 1000 = 512 * 1000 = 512000
512000 / 8 = 64000
64000 / 1024 = 62.5 KBps
Therefore theoretically an internet connection of 512kbps bandwidth can download at a speed of 62.5 KBps
If you don’t want to go through all the hassles of the above formula, just multiply the kbps value with 0.1220703125 to get the KBps value.
512 kbps * 0.1220703125 = 62.5 KBps. Simple!
Internet connectivity Download speed (approx)
256 kbps 31.3 KBps
384 kbps 46.9 KBps
512 kbps 62.5 KBps
768 kbps 93.8 KBps
1 mbps ~ 1000kbps 122.1 KBps
I have mentioned download speed as approximate because they will vary (always reduce) by 15 – 20% due to network signal loss, computer hardware overheads etc. So for realistic, real world figures always reduce 15 – 20% from the computed KBPS download speeds
Now I guess the confusion of kbps and KBps has cleared away. Just remember when you talk in terms of network it’s always bites per second (bps) and when you talk in terms of storage and files its always Bytes per second (Bps). And next time you won’t complain when your 512 kbps connection does not give you download speeds of 512KBps because now you know why
