RSS Brief feed summary

RSS Brief is a new feed reader/summariser from the people at PayPerPost. The idea behind the site is that you type in the RSS feed address and RSS Brief will then look at each post and give you a summary of what the post is about. You can then subscribe to the summary of the feed and save lots of time by not having to read the full feed.

When I stopped by to test it out it wasn't working properly so I can't tell you how well the summaries work. Other useful information include the average words per post and average posts per day.

If the service works as predicted and the summaries do make sense then this will be a boon for those using RSS feeds for research. I don't think it will catch on for feeds that you read for fun or posts from your favourite bloggers as it would take the fun out of reading them.
