Why Marissa Mayer Bought A $30M Startup - Business Insider:
The deal got a lot of attention because Summly's CEO is 17-year-old Nick D'Aloisio. Acquiring Summly seems to have been an almost incidental side effect of a deal Yahoo made with SRI for a piece of "summarization technology." Until Yahoo bought it, SRI International held equity in Summly. The job of implementing this technology at Yahoo will not be given to anyone from Summly, including its young CEO.
Notice that the version from TLDR Stuff actually has the Answer in it. "Incidental side effect of a deal Yahoo make with SRI"
It also tells you that they aren't interested in the young CEO.
This is possible because it is not a keyword density Algo, the core technology called Liquid Helium is a Language Heuristics Engine and it can put weight on which sentences are Causality, and which are Subject matter. This creates a version of the text that tells you Who What Why and if there is still space, How. You can't do that with just a KeyWord density or where in the article is this system.
Summly claimed to have that tech, SRI has some of it, but what they really have is a nice Concept Tree, and sentence parser.
A far cry from a system that knows which points are important, not just which points are most talked about, because as you see in this Business insider article the important part isn't "what is summly" or "who is nick" or "Who is mayer" it is "Why did Yahoo do this" and that is captured in the TLDRSTuff/Stremor version, and not in TLDRizer.
