My friend and I are currently working on an app called Krux that aims to resolve this problem. We found that in most news stories fifty percent or more of it can be fluff/intro/unimportant so we built a summary algorithm to cut the articles down. The app harvests the news from a growing list of RSS feeds and then summarizes them to 4 sentences for quick consumption. We plan on launching with Tech, Business, Politics, and Culture sections so you can follow only what you're most interested in keeping up with. We think it will be a good way to stay on top of fast moving industries and keep informed of the top events.
