Wade Roush provides the blow by blow of a brewing Twitterwar involving a couple of Cambridge social-media startups. Fortunately, the war is over and they're best buds again, because you know how devastating those things can be.

Meanwhile, in other local Twitter news, CC Chapman was bemused this morning to discover he is part of the Boston Twitterati, at least as judged by the Globe, which surely must know, right?

Wrong, according to fellow nouveau Twitteratus Steve Garfield, who chronicles everything wrong with the Globe story, including the fact it implies he's in either marketing or advertising, which he's not. Also, it's your basic "he said/she said" story, i.e., it has one person saying Twitter's wonderful and another person saying it sucks. Also, as is so often the case with the Globe, there aren't any links to the people and posts the story quotes.

Perhaps CC or Steve could buy the reporter one of Lori Magno's sterling frail whale pendants.

Patriot and Redcoat run the Marathon. And yes, she got all the way to Brookline holding a hobby horse.

Presidents' Day was a couple months ago, Abe:

That's a lot of runners on Beacon Street:

Yeah, I'm wearing a bunny head. Go to the Web site already:

Isn't Capt. America dead?

Intense:

Tired:

One of the Freds greets a well wisher:

Somebody else does as well:

Lina ran the race:

I wonder if a lot of Mainers ran?

This guy just wants to tagalog:

Couple of hair dudes:

She didn't do any pirouettes, but I did see one guy do a cartwheel:

Yeeha!

Should Boston.com have posted this?

Seems to me that this story could cause the suspect to get away before he can be arrested. I wouldn't have published it.
