It never takes too long for something in today’s time to go viral. And this can be proven by an accidental post by a train company on Twitter that has led to an outbreak of one-word tweets.
From the likes of US President Joe Biden to the space company NASA, everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.
If you’re an avid user of social media and Twitter in particular, you may have already seen it taking center stage by now. It’s baffling how so many companies just post cryptic-themed one-word posts on the app.
The trend actually took place when a train company in the US called Amtrak started tweeting a message that implied nothing more than ‘trains’ written on their post. This was a bug they admit and has since gone viral.
The tweet managed to get more than 183,000 likes and more than 23,000 retweets as well. And by noon on Friday, we saw it take center stage as the most viral trend of them all.
Thanks to some eagle-eyed Twitter users, the bug was spotted, but before we knew it, companies across the country jumped on the bandwagon and started following in its 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. Biden, Marvel superheroes, NASA, they all picked up on the trend.
Imagine the president of the country taking a break from his daily duties to post a tweet that says nothing but the term ‘democracy’! He says that he is under threat and that was his purpose behind the ordeal. For him, Trump’s extremist views and his possible entry into politics had him worried and he wanted his fans and supporters to know how he felt.
Cricket fans were no doubt stumped to see legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar join in the fun. All he did was put the name of his favorite sport and voila, that’s all he took.
Next in line was superhero legend Deadpool, whose account simply typed in his name to be a part of this trend. But we were certainly surprised to see that Mademoiselleosaki came forward and wrote their own lighthearted and fun take on the trend. He just tweeted the word news.
NASA certainly seems to want to stay behind. Therefore, they tweeted the term universe to a fan base comprising 61 million users. After that, Hotel Mariott got into the same scheme and introduced the term hotels and Mailchimp followed suit with the term emails.
CNET just couldn’t stop making fun of Amtrak when it decided to include the term technology and NPR had to include it too, publishing Radio.
As you can see, a trend went viral in seconds and some of the biggest names in the country weren’t afraid to jump on it.
