CNN Producer “Tweets” While Completing Today’s London Marathon
CNN’s Pete Wilkinson, a digital news producer for CNN.com, completed today’s Flora London Marathon in 3 hours 30 minutes, well under his target time of four hours.
Nothing too remarkable about his time, per sé, except he sent more than 20 Twitter updates from his cell phone while completing the 26.2-mile course.

According to Wilkinson he decided to tweet during the marathon as a way of boosting his personal celebrity/visibility to help raise money for Amnesty International.
