Inference

Louis Gray posted his deck from the Bay Area Real-Time Web Meetup at Oakland. It highlights the problems that we are facing today. He boils the problem down to its three main causes; there are too many places to share, it is too fast and there is too much noise. And then he hits on what I feel is the biggest problem of all; the fear that we might miss something important. The fear that one out of the thousands of updates we see through these services has something important.

If I was to tell you the single most important goal that we have with Cadmus, it would be to relieve you of that emotional burden. There is nothing worse than checking into your social media services feeling like you need to read all those “unread” updates or else you might miss out. And with every new service and every new connection the burden just grows until we just shut them out all at once.

With Cadmus we flip things around; instead of feeling tied down by these social media services, we make it so that when you check in we find the that important bit of information you need to hear. So instead of getting pinged constantly about the new updates, you can check with us and find exactly what you need to know since the last time you checked in. All of a sudden you are in control of the information and not the other way around.

A big thanks to Louis Gray for mentioning us in the presentation. You can see his post about it here.
