Twitter War of the Day. Except this one’s a real war, too. NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) Twitter feed and the Taliban Twitter feeds (yes, they’re real, the Taliban are on Twitter) frequently come to cyberblows, trashtalking one another in 140 characters or fewer. They’ve been at it since the Taliban joined up in spring, welcoming the group to the Internet by saying “We can’t wait until the Taliban start using @Foursquare too.”

Track it here on Al Jazeera. 

This is snark-laden nerdbait at its best. Popcorn optional.
