Tech Trick on RSS FeedsAn RSS feed is a useful weapon in the armoury of a busy entrepreneur who needs to keep up with the latest news in their industry.

 

However, long-winded RSS feeds, as well as even lengthier articles, can often be discarded for taking too much time to decipher.

 

A new web application called TLDR.it summarises RSS feeds and articles if you don’t have the time to wade through them all, or if you simply are a little impatient.

 

You just input the lengthy URL into TLDR.it and it provides you with a précis of the information on hand. It offers short, medium and long versions of articles depending on your time constraints/attention span.

 

TLDR.it was whipped together in just 48 hours and is still in development mode but the US founders are already talking of selling the potentially very handy service.
