( CNN ) -- Hours before the United Nations General Assembly voted to recognize the Palestinian Authority as a non-member observer state , the official U.N. Twitter account made a very unfortunate one-character typo . `` On Day of Solidarity with Palestinians , Ban Ki-moon stresses urgency of reaching 1-state solution , '' read the tweet . U.N. Secretary-General Ban supports a two-state solution . The erroneous tweet was up for more than half an hour before it was taken down and a replacement tweet posted . The @ UN account has 1,129,488 followers and is part of an active social media program run by the U.N . The person responsible , U.N. information officer Nancy Groves , quickly acknowledged her mistake on Twitter and explained the reason for the delayed correction . Twitter is an increasingly fertile ground for diplomatic communications around the world . An interesting project from Agence France Presse maps and measures diplomatic tweets around the world on its E-Diplomacy Hub . The project pulls from a database of more than 6,000 Twitter accounts , including heads of state and activists , and maps the communications on a constantly updated map . You can select a country to see top diplomatic Twitterers and hashtags . An index ranks the most active countries of the past 24 hours . As Twitter becomes a more common place for countries to communicate , directly or passive-aggressively , typos and mistakes will probably become more commonplace .
Offical U.N. account mistakenly tweets support for `` 1-state solution '' in Middle East . Secretary-general actually supports two-state solution . The Tweet was up for over 30 minutes before it was removed and a corrected tweet posted .
