<\/div>\nThe trend is believed to have started by American train service providers Amtrak.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If you have checked Twitter recently, a brand new trend has piqued everyone’s imagination on the social media platform. The “one-word tweet” trend has even managed to get US President Joe Biden to jump on the bandwagon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The trend is believed to have started by American train service providers Amtrak’s social media team. Amtrak’s Twitter handle\u00a0posted a tweet on Thursday that just read “trains”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A few hours after Amtrak posted the one-word tweet, it had more than 20,000 retweets and nearly 130,000 likes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as the rail company tweeted the word, the trend took off faster than a bullet train, with many media houses, multinational corporations, fast-food companies, and even NASA taking part in it.<\/p>\n
“democracy,” tweeted President Biden from the official handle of the President of the United States.<\/p>\n

Marvel’s “anti-hero” comic and movie character Deadpool racked up the numbers by just tweeting, “deadpool”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While many believe that the original tweet was a mistake by an “intern” at Amtrak’s social media team, some believe that it was a deliberate social media strategy to gain traction.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Twitter, on Thursday, announced that users will soon be able to edit their already published tweets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Twitter Blue, a paid subscription service from Twitter, shared a picture of an edited tweet on their official account, and wrote: “well well well, look what we’ve been testing….”<\/p>\n

Twitter confirmed that it is testing the edit feature.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“If you see an edited Tweet it’s because we’re testing the edit button, this is happening and you’ll be okay,” its official handle tweeted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
