Elan <p>An IxDA colleague referred me to your article &#8211; after reading my recent post on Facebook friend circle size (<a href="http://tpgblog.com/2010/05/10/edo-amin-facebook-like/" rel="nofollow">http://tpgblog.com/2010/05/10/edo-amin-facebook-like/</a>). Your article fills in the blanks for me!</p> <p>Dunbar actually talks about a series of numbers, not just 5 and 150. Are more distinct strength levels beyond strong and weak? I notice anecdotal evidence among my friends who are teachers and journalists, who seem to have a moment of truth when reaching around 500 followers.</p> <p>Doesn&#8217;t this have huge implication for, say, contact book design? For example, when a user moves beyond 150 or 500 contacts, shouldn&#8217;t filtering and removal tasks be escalated to mission-critical status?</p> http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/designing-for-social#content_53622 http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/designing-for-social#content_53622 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:28:55 GMT Edo A.
