What marketers need to know is this: how many of our so-called friends or fans are sick of us and have hidden our status updates? This is useful information we need from Facebook that would help us refine our social media campaigns.

Especially since interest in one particular person, product, company, or idea naturally waxes and wanes over time. I wonder if Facebook will eventually be replaced by Twitter; after all, once Facebook gained popularity, there was hardly room for Myspace anymore.

But, I think it is what it is. I hear or read people spouting their friend count like it's some kind of score but, what they aren't saying is "I have this many close(strong) friends" in relation to their fb friend count. Your fb friend count is really your number of ties(mostly weak as the count grows). So I think Dunbar's point while an interesting research point, doesn't really matter. Strong ties occur naturally, weak ties need work. Am I way off? Hi Scott,
