Holy Kim Kardashian! Have The People’s Twitter prayers been answered?

According to ProPublica reporter Logan Jaffe, it looks like… wait for it… Twitter may be testing an EDIT BUTTON.

A tweet edit function is one of the most requested features on Twitter — requests that Twitter has steadfastly denied. In June, Kim Kardashian even lobbied Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey directly for the feature — making the most headway of anyone to date on the issue. Jack, is Kim responsible for this?

It’s worth noting that Jaffe’s screenshot comes from Tweetdeck — not Twitter dot com or the Twitter app itself. After being asked for more information, Jaffe tweeted a clarification that she was able to use the edit button, on Tweetdeck, to edit a tweet.

Mashable has reached out to Twitter to ask whether we can place our hopes and dreams in this apparition, or if this is a random fluke. We’ll update this story when and if we hear back.

In the meantime — for all you typo-makers, and tweet regret-havers out there — here’s hoping this lil’ button could be the real thing.
