What stories can you tell while on the go?

New York Times writer Kit Eaton talks exclusively about the first part of Mobile blogging options for storytelling on the go.  But the part about storytelling on the go is an awesome idea.  Blogger is my main platform, and I've written articles on my iPhone Notes app, while on a Metra ride to Chicago, then simply copied and pasted onto my blog.  While blogs and social media have frank distinctions, they are increasingly more alike with another.  Storytelling is what defines blogging, and certainly social media can be one set of platforms for it.  

But what is storytelling?  It's speaking more personally about something, and weaving it into a narrative, even a short one, which has a bit of drama, intrigue or emotion.  How does storytelling help your company or brand?  That personal touch may just be what appeals to your target customers or audience.  Stories have to be genuine, and stories have to be relevant.  When you're on the go, you encounter a vast pool of sights, and sounds, and smells, that can be the seeds to a story you write, literally while you're on the go.
