Ask HN: Idea Validation- Content Summarizer

[aai]

Would you be interested in a service that summarizes content from sites that you frequently visit?

Personally, I follow several RSS feeds and I feel like I would be better served reading summaries of the content rather than the content itself for many of the feeds.

Extending the concept to video, I know I would find value in being able to read a summary of a given TED talk rather than having to watch a 15-30min video.

Does anybody else feel this way?

Just build it and get feed back.

If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time asking here. First, your target audience probably won't be HN (since HN is a small community compared to the rest of the world). Second, nobody actually knows what they want.

Thanks for the feedback.

I was trying to gauge interest amongst a community I perceived to be early adopters in line with 'lean startup' principles.

Nevertheless, you raise a good point. I will try to find some members outside the HN community to run the idea by.
