To develop the program Nick D'Aloisio hired linguist from
the laboratory semantics MIT, he also used his knowledge of a polyglot. Nick
studied Latin, French, and Chinese. Also with the 12 years he has been involved
in various programming languages. He was already predicting the future Mark
Zuckerberg.
In November 2011, the development of the prototype has
invested about $ 300,000, and the application has been downloaded 150,000
times. At design-time and run Summly Nick even had to temporarily leave school.
However, the investment bonus of $ 1 million, which was a teenager at the end
of October, has not only officially launch the project, but also to smooth
future stress the need to catch up with the curriculum.
I invented Summly,
because I realized that my generation does not accept the news in its
traditional form - says Nick.
Summly includes the
popular news categories such as business, art, design, and even the 2012
election. As read long articles with the phone's screen is inconvenient, the
program automatically compresses the text up to 400 characters, without losing
the meaning.
