I know, I can be a bit wordy at times. I have a habit of stretching a one minute video into a ten minute one. I’m a talker, duh! I also enjoy writing, and sometimes I keep writing and just can’t stop. I don’t have time to read everything, though. I just need a summary sometimes. What do I do when I have something really long to read, and just don’t have time? Thankfully, I can head on over to GreatSummary.
Quickly get the gist of a document, webpage, or any text selection of your choice. Identify the key topics of a document while eliminating redundant information. Founded in May 2006, we started GreatSummary to help people turn information into understanding.
GreatSummary provides a glimpse into the content of a document, without having to understand the entire document.
Just enter in the URL of a page you need summarized, and tell GreatSummary how many lines to nearrow it down to. Within mere seconds, you’ll have a nice, neat summary! If it doesn’t return enough information, select a larger number of items to return. You can also rate your summary, to help them understand if the service is working.
In this fast-paced world, sometimes we just need the Cliff notes version of things. GreatSummary can do that for you, in a flash.

Tried to summarize this page and the result was a disaster. Still needs work. Not ready for prime time.

Okay – this is very interesting stuff. I knew there existed algorithms that were able to condence text and create a somewhat sensible summary out of them (this is interestingly enough also a part of one of the Turing tests).
Now imagine this technology combined with the Gaudio indexing tools from Google (http://labs.google.com/gaudi).
It could have been very interesting to run a test where Gaudio spins through one of your videos, and then condence the output with GreatSummary.
