It never takes long for something to go viral these days. And this can be proven by an accidental tweet by a train company that has led to an explosion of one-word tweets.
From the likes of US President Joe Biden to the space company NASA as well, everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.
If you are an avid user of social media and Twitter in particular, you may have already seen it taking center stage now. It’s amazing how so many firms are just putting one-word cryptic themed posts into the app.
The trend actually happened when a train company in the US named Amtrak began tweeting a message that had nothing but ‘trains’ written all over her post. This was a mistake they admit and has since gone viral.
The tweet has managed to garner over 183,000 likes and more than 23,000 retweets as well. And by midday on Friday, we were seeing it take center stage as the most viral trend of all.
Thanks to some eagle-eyed Twitter users, the mistake was spotted, but before we knew it, firms from all over the country got on the bandwagon and started following in their footsteps. What we got, in the end, was the most unique viral trend.
But we must say that it is definitely a strange form of fascination. Bidenmarvel superheroes, NASAeveryone caught the trend.
Imagine the president of the country taking time off from his daily duties to post a tweet that says nothing but the term “democracy”! He says he is under threat and that was his goal after the ordeal. For him, Trump’s extremist views and possibly entering politics worried him and he wanted his fans and followers to know how he felt.
Cricket fans were surely amazed to see the legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar join in the fun. All he did was put in the name of his favorite sport and voila, that was it.
Next came the Superhero legend Deadpool whose account simply wrote his name to be part of this trend. But we were certainly shocked to see Washington Post go ahead and write his easy and fun version of the trend. Just posted the word news.
NASA certainly seems to want to be left behind. Therefore, they posted the term universe to a fan base that includes 61 million users. After this, Marriott Hotel joined the same scheme and established the term hotels and Mailchimp followed it with the term email.
CNET just couldn’t stop making fun of Amtrak when he decided to coin the term tech and the NPR had to be included as well, posting Radio.
So as you can see, a trend went viral in seconds and some of the biggest names in the country weren’t afraid to participate.
