Hi Ari – thanks for stopping by! The Dunbar number certainly applies to human relationships overall (not just for social media). I had never heard of the term either until I read the New York Times piece. It was mentioned in that, which accounts for the short blurb at the end of my post. It is a really interesting concept for overall interaction, both on and offline.

Valid points, Larissa, and I need to absorb the links you shared, but may I ask a question first?

At the tail of your post, you mention the “Dunbar number,” a concept I never heard of, and I wonder why you allude it to social media and not social relations period.
