Twittering the Obama rally

Uncle%20Sam.jpg

When Senator Barack Obama rolls into town Saturday the N&R will, of course, have a reporter at the rally.

But we'll also be covering it via Twitter, an online social networking site that allows its users to post short, real-time updates from anywhere.

The Obama campaign is (perhaps over) using the site already. McCain less so, though some seem to be using it on his behalf. His campaign's had a little trouble with the site already.

In short bursts of 140 characters or less, I'll describe the scene in real time - the crowd, the speech, the whole shebang. It'll be like Internet Haiku.

If you're already Twittering, add us to your feed list. If you're not, you can check in with us at our feed's homepage anyway.
