Yahoo News Digest

Yahoo Launches News Aggregation and Summary App 'News Digest'



             In tandem with its keynote at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Yahoo announced 'News Digest,' a new iOS app that aggregates, condenses and delivers the day's top news to users twice a day.
         News Digest, currently limited to iPhone and iPod touch, puts a twist on the two-times-a-day news delivery format that has in some ways been usurped by the Internet's instant and always-on coverage. 
        The content is a curated “blend” of information, using several sources to create news stories. Yahoo calls the individual stories “atoms.” The goal of News Digest is to bring users “comprehensive, effortless, and complete” information on their world.The product represents Yahoo’s first product built on top of Summly, a company that it purchased that had a focus on gisting information to small summaries.The new service fits well inside Yahoo’s new rubric of building mobile applications that help users with their daily tasks. News Digest is designed to be used at least twice daily, so it could have high resonance among its user base.
       Yahoo’s keynote address also included various notes on its content strategy, which is expanding. It seems logical that its own reporting will be folded into News Digest. We’ll have hands on notes in short order.
