RSSBrief is a service that provides 25 word summaries of RSS feeds, with links to the blog entry and the direct links to the originating source. You simply enter the URL of the feed and ask them to "brief" it. You can also search and browse through feeds they have recently been briefed, all listed on their home page. The service seems interesting enough, but when I tried to enter a URL site, it ran into errors for an unknown reason. Also, does a person have to visit this site every day and keep re-entering URLs into the search engine -- that actually seems like more time spent than just going to the original source, esp if you already know the URL. They might want to allow people to create daily "briefs" automatically sent to their email accounts, or to at least post "briefs" of the most popular blogs/RSS feeds out there. The site also lacked any link to get information or learn more about the purpose/origination of the site.

"RSSBrief turns you into a blog reading bigwig, complete with your very own personal minion that can summarize anything it finds. RSSBrief uses some very slick lexical analysis technology to produce a proper precis of blog posts and other RSS feed contents to let you instantly get the skinny on a post without having to spend a lot of time drilling down into the details. With RSSBrief you can automatically reduce hundreds of pages of blog feed contents to just a handful, letting you keep up to speed with the latest happenings in the blogosphere quicker than ever before.
Bear in mind, we're talking a full precis of a post here, just like Mrs. Smith taught you how to do in Middle School English all those years ago. We know how annoying it is to be reading a post that some lame aggregating service decided to simply truncate. When that happens the details you want are ....
Annoying, isn't it?
Use RSSBrief - the world's first Blog Feed reading, auto summarizing, "just the fact's ma'am," personal assistant for all of us drowning under in a sea of must-read blog feeds."

Why are there no automatic feeds of "briefs" sent to a person's email account daily? Or did i miss that? Who created this site and how does a person contact them for feedback/questions?
