Copernic Summarizer. Another tool in the endless battle to deal with the ever growing mass of information we deal with daily. This product uses "sophisticated statistical and linguistic algorithms, [to] pinpoint the key concepts and extract the most relevant sentences, resulting in a summary that is a shorter, condensed version of the original text." It will be interesting to contrast this approach with the one we tried at the last company I worked at, speed reading software. - SWL  [EdTechPost] 1:07:30 PM

My comments on the Schwartz piece. [Scripting News] Dave Winer's comments, alluded to in the previous item. I guess I need to re-read both, after I get past my deadline and doing the damned taxes. 10:10:26 AM

Jonathan Schwartz on Open Standards vs. Open Source This posted at CNET. Sorry, I think the guy is making a case for his company, and I have real problems with Sun. What Schwartz says about open source is accurate enough, but the piece is still pretty self-serving. I don't get what Dave Winer has to say about it either. Did we read the same article? or am I just out of it? 10:08:52 AM
