They have built a social news reader... Summify
People are increasingly getting their news mainly from the social networks they're part of, but this is rapidly getting overwhelming. If you're connected with a few hundred people and companies it's hard to stay on top of the news they share. There's currently no way to get the important stuff without going through all your news.
Summify gives you a river of news in a way that you can consume it in minutes, rather than hours. The important stuff bubbles up at the top so, however much time you have at your disposal, you always know you're reading the important stuff first. They achieve this by using your social and interest graphs to curate your news, applying an algorithm similar to Facebook's EdgeRank to rank it, and wrapping it all in a easy to use interface.
- They required a logo to symbolize social news reading... a nice newspaper icon seemed to be the solution... Summify
