Would you use a service that manually converts articles into bullet points?

2 points by Zakuzaa ↗ HN
We have developed a service which provides you bullet points of top content everyday. The bullet points are created by a battery of trained human summarizers. Would you pay for such a service? What do you expect from it?

Still in alpha. We are launching soon. Don't have a link, I'm sorry :(

Is it crowd sourced?

So for example, can someone sign up as a summarizer (and possibly get paid to summarize?)

Yes crowdsouricing is involved.

Hired summarizers + Crowdsourcing (with a lot of scrutiny though)

IME, bullet point summaries only have value if they are done with a very specific target audience, and the summarizer is intimately familiar with the interest of that target audience.

We understand that, and have kept that in mind while building the backend. We match up content items with summarizers based on interests and expertise. Additonally, every summary also goes through an editor/proofreader before it is is published.
