My Six Words for The Digital Life on the Digital Life
If you know me, you know that I've been submitting Six Words a Day for several months now. I found out yesterday that there is a new Six Word Contest by the folks over at Smith Magazine, home of the Six Word Memoir. They and Frontline/Digital Nation want Six Words on the Digital Life.
I am doing these outside of My Six Words for The Digital Life a Day and so they get their own page. If you would like to read all of the submissions, you can go to Six Words on the Digital Life.
Update: On Thursday, October 22, 2009, I was contacted by PBS Frontline Digital Nation. They said I was selected for a compilation video they were doing and asked me to make a video recording of me reading a few of my submissions!
Below are My Submissions by Day:

16 There's no emoticon for my mood. — This one was highlighted on the main page Life is a blur of tweets. Lurking through life like chat rooms. They aren't called trolls for nothing. |
17 My tweeps are all on Twitter. "Delicious," said Yammer to the tweet. Yammer is the new water cooler. |
18 Where do the lost bits go? Funny how boob tube became YouTube. I heard she's still on MySpace. |
19 I read it in a tweet. Facebook? Twitter is the new MySpace. Say it with only 140 characters. Alive and well in the ether. |
| 20 To tweet or not to tweet? I know her by her tweets. On Facebook. Wish you were here. |
21 Whose bright Twitter tweet was that? She is not a one-phone woman. Twitter. It's not just for tweeps. |
22 We met on Facebook and married. I feel disconnected in the bathroom. Say it all in 140 characters. |
23 I follow famous people on Twitter. Your nude photo is online somewhere. I need an emoticon cheat sheet. |
24 You wrote a note. How retro. I don't have time to tweet. It's not just for geeks anymore. |
25 It's not stalking. It's the Internet. I'd friend you if I cared. |
26 My Six Words for The Digital Life are on Facebook. I am not defined by Facebook. |
| 27 Who needs email? I have twitter. I know her. She's on Facebook. |
28 I get online before I shower. |
29 Not just a name; a domain. |
30 Life revolves around my Outlook calendar. |
