Inference

If you are used to seeing the “processing updates” sign frequently on Cadmus, here is why.

If a user has not logged into Cadmus in the past week we set the user’s service as inactive. This means that we do not pull the data from the user’s services. And so when an inactive user signs in again we take a few minutes to process their updates and activate their services. We do this to conserve the user’s Twitter API call count, so that we don’t needlessly use it up.
