One Sentence - True stories, told in one sentence.

I found this intriguing site on the short list of Web 2.0 awards (http://www.seomoz.org/web2.0/short). To quote the About page: "One Sentence is an experiment in brevity. Most of the best stories that we tell from our lives have one really, really good part that make the rest of the boring story worth it. This is about that one line."
So, readers of the site submit their own one-sentence stories. They are fascinating! Some are funny, some are sad, many are poetic. I may try submitting my own one-liner, just for fun.
Here's one of my favorites, posted by FrogGirl: "Everyone knows me as Jessica, but he knows me as the girl who actually wept with him when his frog died."
There are lots of good features here. The tags make it easy to find more stories on a particular subject, like frog or death. The blog is interesting to keep up with. I also loved the "ShareThis" feature which allowed me to publish directly to my blog and follow the new stories on Twitter. I could also have shared via rss feed, my Facebook page, my Delicious bookmarks, or numerous other avenues.
I've already recommended this site to my Twitter friends and mentioned to others. A fun place to visit if you appreciate a good sentence!
