In a blog post announcing the deal, Mr Cahan said although mobile devices were shifting our daily routines, “most articles and web pages were formatted for browsing with mouse clicks. The ability to skim them on a phone or a tablet can be a real challenge – we want easier ways to identify what’s important to us.”
卡恩在宣布收购交易的博客文章中表示,尽管移动设备在改变我们的日常生活,但“大多数文章和网页的格式是为PC端设计,适合用鼠标点击浏览。在手机或平板电脑上浏览它们可能构成重大难题——读者希望更方便地找到对自己重要的内容。”
Summly and Yahoo refused to comment on the deal’s terms.
Summly和雅虎拒绝对交易的条款置评。
Summly attempts to solve this problem by creating “snapshots” of stories that allow readers to browse more quickly than reading full articles. The app will close down but Mr D’Aloisio’s technology will be integrated into Yahoo’s mobile apps.
Summly对这一难题的解决方式是创建文章的“快照”,比起阅读整篇文章,该功能可提高读者的浏览速度。尽管应用将关闭,但达洛伊西奥的技术将整合进雅虎的移动应用。
Two of Summly’s employees will move to Yahoo’s California headquarters, but – for now – Mr D’Aloisio is resisting the lure of Silicon Valley.
Summly的两位员工将迁至雅虎的加利福尼亚州总部,但就目前而言,达洛伊西奥抵挡住了硅谷的诱惑。
