The app will deliver news twice a day to a customer’s mobile device and takes the form of information from across the Internet that is organised into units known as atoms.
“The atomic units include summaries, maps, infographics, stock tickers, Wikipedia extracts, videos, photos, quotes and more. We’ve just launched two new atoms; weather and statistics. The stories and atoms are algorithmically produced but editorially curated demonstrating the perfect blend of technology and journalism,” stated Nick D’Aloisio, product manager for Mobile and Emerging Products at Yahoo, and the British teenager that developed Summly.
Yahoo purchased D’Aloisio’s app for around $30 million back in March 2013 and it came after he had already attracted support from the likes of Mark Pincus, Rupert Murdoch, Li Ka Shing and Matt Mullenweg.
