Dealing with Guy’s repeated tweets

Posted by Jay on Nov 14th, 2009

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.
