Wired is not the only one with the very short stories. There was a comic strip in the biggest Finnish newspaper a month ago featuring a pig who received shortened classics into his mobile. He read the three line version of Tolstoi's "Anna Karenina" - but still "The Odyssey" in 5 lines was too long for him.
Just started to guess when Reader's Digest will follow this trend... which yields to my entry:
"Reader's Digest to one-liners. Cutoffs foreseen."
