Tinyurl but for content

A tl;dr service: map urls to short (2-4 sentence) descriptions of the concepts on that page. Summaries would be creatable/editable with wiki-like semantics. If I'm already skimming 10-20 urls a day, why not let me skim 100 summaries only to ...




Neat idea. Could maybe leverage other sources (eg Delicious 'notes' fields, esp. if someone self-notates as a 'summary') until someone first writes a tight proper-style summary. Choice of hard limit for summary size is somewhat arbitrary but will have important influence on culture that emerges.
Getting ahead of things, but an idea for v2: would be interesting to have summaries that apply to entire 'site' (by domain or URL-prefix) or 'site-subsection' (by URL prefix or pattern). When viewing an individual URL summary, you might also want to see (below it) the summaries of each containing context.
