This acts more like an outline/shortcut maker than a summarizer. The 'summary' creates links to different sections of an article, and all the text of that section will show in a drop-down from the link. I signed in w/my Google account and didn't see any difference. It can be useful. Let's you know in a jiffy if there's a comment section etc. I've seen other outline programs that are quicker and might suit people more typically. I thank the author for reminding me of outliners though.
