I heard abt a similar program named abridge-it or something on npr that will skim any document for you-even blogs.
We’re totally a cliff notes culture.
This looks a lot like http://www.newser.com/. I use that site every day already, and it looks like NYT is just lifting the design from them. Plus Newser is easier to look at than this – too many words here.
THanks for posting this! I know it’s just a prototype but i think it’s a great idea!
Love your blog!

How did you get a screenshot like that? Photoshop?

Nice, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the MSNBC Spectra Visual Newsreader:
