Copernic is a company that has licensed text summarization technology from the Institute for Information Technology at the National Research Council. They have agent and summarizer tools that can help searching the web and managing results. The Copernic Summarizer, in particular, looks like an interesting application of summarization for everyday use, including the ability to summarize web pages in real time. Neat!
On a visit to the NRC I saw a number of the Information Technology projects around Interactive Information including Scientific Literature Mining (LitMiner) | Information Analysis and Retrieval. See Information Analysis and Retrieval | Research | NRC-IIT for a list of current projects.
