GistWeb - Just givin' the gist!

I'm an offender - well not on this blog as much as in Business Reputation where I'm weaving ideas together to define larger issues.  Plus, I like writing in a philosophic style that tends to a little long winded. So I understand that not ever reader has as much fun with words as I do.

So finding a tool like "Gist It" is both a real find as a tool but it is also a for it's an honest gift to those people that would read my other blog but want to shorten the time read some of my longer post. So here it is...


GistWeb will give the gist of any web page's actual content. It's goal is to provide a "summary" version of any page, giving you the meat and discarding the fluff. This saves loads of time when doing research online.
 
To use GistWeb (after clicking here), drag the -> Gist It! <- link to your bookmarks toolbar (Mozilla/FireFox Users). If you're using Internet Explorer, simply right-click the link and select 'Add to Favorites'.
 
Any time you want the gist of whatever page you're on, just click the bookmark! GistWeb also works with html files you have saved on your local hard drive. Just open the html file (File->Open) and click your GistWeb bookmark.

One last note: As a rule, GistWeb only works well on English documents. Using it on documents of any other language may produce low quality results.
