Cadmus aims to filter spammy and repetitive tweets from your Twitter feed (Download Squad)

Jan 12th 2010 11:24AM Thanks for the review Jason.

I am sorry that your initial experience was not very good.

Over the last few days there has been a spike in the number of new accounts being created and so it took a little bit to pull in and analyze your stream.

The main idea behind Cadmus is that it helps users get the most out of their social media services by figuring out what all their friends are talking about. So every time you check in, we find the hottest conversations since your last visit and present them to you.

You are right about the distinction between relevant and popular. But we analyze your stream and your "social graph" (love that term!) over time and the more you use the service, the more we are able to figure out what is important to you. This also means that the first couple of times you check in we are essentially showing you what is popular. And as you mentioned, this is influenced by how many people you are following and how much activity is taking place.

Here is some more info about how Cadmus works - http://blog.anomalyinnovations.com/2009/12/cadmus-keeping-you-updated/.

Thanks again for the review.
