Size of social networks on FB and in life

The Size of Social Networks: Primates on Facebook (Economist)

Great article on the Economist about the Dunbar number, which sets a rough limit on the number of social connections we humans tend to have. Also fascinating is that the number of intimate social friends we have (~7-10) has been on the decline. Need to read Bowling Alone at some point.
