The Gruffalos Child 2011 Only2Clicks CurativeApp.com - Coming Soon Capture Your Flag - Career Learning and Development Video Interviews instaGrok | A new way to learn Cadmus Offers Algorithmic Twitter Feed Curation Filtering, curation, aggregation and relevance have long been touted as the next important steps for social media. In actual fact we’ve had curation services in the form of Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Delicious and many more for a long time. However, the questions “How do I find the blog post, tweet, facebook update, photo or check-in that is most relevant to me?” and “How do I know I’ve not missed a really important piece of news?” are still asked daily. So, there still isn’t a definite answer – or a definitive service. The Cadmus application attempts to answer a problem as outlined in a blog entry introducing Cadmus. The problem we are trying to solve here is that we don’t have all day to stay on top of these social media services. The app lets you add services such as Twitter, any RSS feed and FriendFeed, but the API currently focuses purely on Twitter as a source of information including methods to curate posts, trends, comments, links, searches, lists and find related tweets.
