Others include Twitter and YouTube”.It has 1.2 billion active users globally, 757 million of whom log on daily. Many more than that will have flirted with it over the past decade.

Leadbetter (2009)
Enter a new kind of authority in telling the news, one focused not so much on scoops and truth, but the limited ability of the human brain to process information. Nick D’Aloisio - the 18-year-old entrepreneur whosold his summarization app to Yahoo in April 2013 for $30 million — most of it cash which went straight into a trust fund. Since then he’s taken his anti-data-glut approach further by revamping Summly and turning it into Digest.
