Dunbar’s Number and the Social Business

Dunbar’s Number Most people working with social technologies will be familiar with Dunbar’s Number: the number of people we can comfortably maintain stable social relationships with. Apparently it varies from 100 to 230, with 150 being the norm. This we each typically connect up with and socialise with on average 150 people. This applies both […]

Making Connections: the Social Object

Originally posted on The Dachis Group Collaboratory. Reposted here just so I have my own record. There seems to be almost a collective deja vu among some of the social business commentators of late, with lots of talk about a sense of having been here before, for some more than once.

Social Business Predictions for 2011

Cisco Quad, 1st blush

A cloudy intranet of HTML5

I thought that Box.net’s announcement that they’re going full blown ‘drag & drop’ HTML5 was of note for one special reason that hadn’t struck me before with HTML5.

Imagineering a Windows Social Media Player

I started to think this morning about possible ways that new developments in social intranet technologies might disrupt and accelerate the old formations of 1.0 intranets.
