What happened to the “Summarize” feature?

Does anybody know what happened to the Summarize feature in Snow Leopard? It used to be found under services. It is described here:

You could select some text in any native OS X application and selected Summarize under the services menu, and would provide you with a summary of the article, or whatever you were reading. Anybody know what happened to it?

Go to System Preferences
Select Keyboard
Select tab Keyboard Shortcuts
Select item Services
Scroll down till you see "Summarize"

It's there, it just isn't automatically loaded. Select the checkbox and it should appear in your Services menu.

Wow there’s quite a lot of stuff in there. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, in Snow Leopard not all services are enabled by default. You can now choose which ones to enable, rather than having them all enabled by default.
