In today’s fast-paced world, it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand and act promptly upon the content of the many information streams available to us. TextPool addresses this problem by quickly summarizing recent content in live text streams, such as newswires and closed captioning. The summarization is a dynamically changing textual collage that clusters related terms. We tested TextPool with the content of several RSS newswire feeds, which are updated roughly every five minutes. TextPool was able to handle this bandwidth well, and produced useful summarizations of feed content.
