Inference

You can now post updates and comments right from Cadmus using any of your services.

There are also some neat little UI additions to the posting interface. Below is a screenshot of the Twitter usernames auto-complete feature. It is incredibly lightweight and does not interfere with your work flow. You start off by typing the Twitter username and it matches the rest. You can cycle through the various matches using the down or up arrow keys. Once you have found the right username just use the right arrow key to select it and continue typing your post. Alternatively if you don’t like the matches you can simply ignore it and continue typing.

Cadmus shows Twitter @replies as comments and so you can reply to a comment by clicking on the reply to comment button.

We just love clean interfaces and so when you go over 140 characters, the post box simply highlights in red to let you know that you have gone over the limit. Also, we shorten long URL’s intelligently, so you don’t have to.

Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Posts now get marked as read on the fly. So when you come back to Cadmus, you will know where you left off.

Today Guy Kawasaki was pointing his followers to a post he had made a while back about why he repeats tweets are more specifically what they should do to deal with them.

I completely agree with his reasons for repeating tweets. The signal to noise ratio in our streams are really low and it is quite easy to miss important posts. But many feel this practice of repeating tweets is spammy, even though the data Guy is sighting shows otherwise.

Incidentally this is a perfect use case for Cadmus. In fact we are not only solving the problem of repeated tweets we are also dealing with the core issue; low signal to noise ratios in our streams. Above is a screenshot of my Cadmus page from today.

Guy made three repeated posts about Twitter, spaced exactly 8 hours apart. Where almost everybody would see the same post 3 times, Cadmus users would just see a post with an option to see the two other related posts.
