I wrote this app about a year ago after a friend and I had a conversation about how we regularly passed up lengthy articles we'd find on the internet because we didn't have the time to read them in full.

I really want something like synop.it to exist because I routinely forgo reading really long articles out of a lack of time or patience. Most articles I read I feel could be summarized in a few bullet points quite nicely (TL;DR). Whe we first launched it was picked up by readwriteweb.com and we had some decent traffic. We were promoting it by summarizing the most popular articles on digg and reddit and posting a link to the summary in the comments which often resulted in a lot of traffic.

Anyways, we kind of let it fall by the wayside but I want to start promoting it again, but I wanted to get HN's opinion on the whole idea first.
