Zolt App

Thanks a lot for the hunt! We're very grateful. Hi everybody, I'm Rush and I'm the founder at Zolt - an app that gives you 60 word summaries of the news. We built this app to make the news ridiculously easy to consume by cutting through the fluff and giving you the essence of the story. The average human's attention span is now officially 1 second shorter than a goldfish, so we figured people would enjoy bite sized curated summaries of everything that's happening around them. I'd be happy to answer any questions the community has about our product, strategy or life :)

I love stuff like this -- much like summly - it's great to get snackable snippets instead of reading miles of text... we just want the just of the story - the crux --- not all the poetry and bs surrounding it... GET TO THE POINT -- ok too much caffeine today ... awesome product.

Looks great! I can catch up on the news in mini-breaks.

I'm sorry Rush and team, but this idea isn't much different than Circa, an app that had a way more experienced founder and institutional funding. Consumers have shown time and time again they don't want a news summary app. I wish you luck, but I unfortunately predict this will hit a brick wall sooner than later.

@rush_zolt awesome product. I noticed Zolt is very similar to InShorts. Do the two have anything to do with each other?

Was one of the early adopters of the app. While the summaries are great, it's hard to get truly "hooked" into the product. Enabling the user to build their feed like how Facebook and Twitter did it (i.e. the friends they follow) will help a lot. This can be the productized version of "Twitter Lists" (and better) if executed right.
