Re:Social Reading list for close friends: Bad or good idea? by fabiankutschera on Tuesday June 25, 2019 @09:32AM (#20273954)
Hey Luckylion! Cheers for the thoughts! People I had asked claimend that they really wanted to read the article and I had also limited my research to long articles from sophisticated news like NYT. However, I can't say for sure that they really wanted to read the article or just said so. The summary idea you brought up is actually an interesting one: Getting an automatic summary (or some key sentences) so that I know at least roughly what the article is about. That's what you mean, right? There was a simliar idea recently on product hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/i-lazy-to-read. Worked medium well for me but the idea is quite cool

Yeah, something along those lines. Not sure how well it'll work on a pure technological solution, but with a social app you may get people to summarize it.
