Do they really? They even kept that stupid Summly app, rebranding it as Yahoo News Digest. Then there's Aviate, Tumblr... I don't know, what else did they buy?

- DanAndersen 12y agoThey bought and killed Astrid, my favorite to-do list manager. Todoist has turned out to be a pretty good replacement, though.

- Theodores 12y agoWas Summly that awful? I should hate my words to be crushed into some newspeak by some algorithm but I am not a journalist. I also like to read words written by a real human being. Hence Summly is not for me. However, I can see it appealing to those that get their news from 'free newspapers' etc. Was Summly that bad? Or was it the problem of 'child prodigy get rich' that gave it a bad reputation?
