Nick D’Aloisio, 17, developed the app, called Summly, while revising for his
mock GCSEs in 2011.
The app, which summarises news stories, will now close and its features will
be used in mobile products at Yahoo!. Nick will also start a full-time job at
the web giant while he studies for his A-levels.
He said: "I'm hoping to stay [at Yahoo!] as long as it takes to get the
technology integrated.
"We were approached a few months ago and what really excited me was their
mobile strategy.
"I think this is an amazing opportunity and I didn't want to miss it."
