Cadmus is a startup like many others these days that is taking user data from social media and presenting it as a filtered stream. That is a good thing.

In today’s crowded social media spaces with content flying around it is hard for users both new and old to get a grip on their networks and know what to pay attention to. That is where Cadmus comes in.

You add the sources like Twitter, RSS feeds or other social networks and they combine all of them and run a computer algorithm against them to bring the user content that they might be most interested in. Their algorithm is pretty good and deletes duplicate items from streams and will tell the user just how much of their stream they have chosen for them to view.

My only gripe with the service is the age of the posts that it is surfacing for me. Many of them are hours old. As a power user I would like to see this with relevant real-time (or near) information.

However, if I were a different type of user that was checking on my social networks every few hours, Cadmus would be a good solution to quieting the din.
