Six word memoir phenomenon

Creator of the online publisher SMITHMAG ( http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/) devised a project for people to write their memoirs - the catch is that is has to be confined to 6 words. The result has turned into a blogging phenomenon and online community. It is allowing people to be expressive and succinct and release their inner author. Moreover, the posts that people have contributed has been turned into a book. I think this is another great example where innovators are using the practice and technology behind blogging and turning it into a more interesting hybrid.
