The Timing of today's forum at the UNITY Convention presents an opportunity for storytelling in a format that is more and more common in Web journalism.
It's called live blogging. Instead of waiting until after an event has concluded, the blogger provides commentary as the event is happening.
The goal is not to digest it all, think and then post. Instead, the immediate reactions are sent like text messages. The short entries include time stamps and can provide an interesting reading experience after-the-fact for those who attended the event or those who missed it.
Today we will be live blogging as a viewer of the Obama event at the UNITY Convention.
You will be able to follow the postings as they will have the graphic that appears in this posting.
As the UNITY Journalists' media release indicated, this is one of the first national appearances Obama is making following his whirlwind trip to Europe and Middle East last week.
