Awesome work!
I've got an IOException while trying to summarize http://matt-welsh.blogspot.com/2013/04/running-software-team... And a different one for http://googleblog.blogspot.com I guess you should put more effort in your html parser. Try Apache Tika, perhaps.

Yeah. I tried it. It's good! The problem is it's not free. Although it's cheap, I still don't have that money/revenue to pay for it. The free tier is not that much. If I have the money, I'll definitely change it to Diffbot. :)
