All You Need Is 6 Words

When I first saw Opuss in the AppStore I got the same impression I got from Instagram, yet another social media app which I don't think I have any use for.

I enjoyed Instagram – till they decided to be swallowed by Facebook.

So far I'm having the same experience with Opuss. You can post short stories to Twitter, Tumblr and WordPress. Yet the way Opuss is designed intrigues me.

I've decided to use it for something I've thought about since last year's Xmas. I was given a book with a collection of stories not longer than six words. A great exercise in brevity and ability to only tell a story with using so few words.

Hence the very shot and possible cryptic first posts on here by me.

St George

Happy St. George's Day. But how am I supposed to celebrate/recognise it. The national flag or any celebration of Englishness seems to have been hijacked by the far right :(.

Very interesting concept. Might have a shot at telling a story in six words at some point!

Speaking of Opuss compared to Instagram. I'm feeling the same vibe. I adore the design of the app. It's gorgeous to look at and is simple to use. Kind of wish I had heard of it sooner. I owe you a thumbs up for pointing me towards it though ;)

@SkinBintin Yeah, it's not an easy thing, but a great challenge indeed. :)

@SkinBintin I check iTunes for their weekly apps, etc, and it looked kind of interesting.

Six word stories are quite popular.
