Yahoo is said to have its eyes on Summly, according to All Things D.<\/p>\n

Summly is a news summarising app, which made its way onto the iOS<\/a> App Store<\/a> best-sellers list within hours of being released.<\/p>\n

The app was created by 17-year old London resident, Nick D\u2019Alosio, and received over $1,000,000 in funding.<\/p>\n
