We wrote about it here "The CIO leadership role in Social Business" http://igo2group.com/blog/cio-leadership-role-social-business/ The key point is that often the IT group and the CIO are cast in a negative light when it comes to “corporate” and social media e.g blocking access to social sites, turning off or resisting Yammer etc. But it should be, and can be the opposite. The CIO can easily become an innovator and thought-leader in social business by repurposing skills and knowledge long held in enterprise IT.

Another implication is certainly internal collaboration. And in that sense, social media is clear improvement. Even before one starts talking about organizational impact, one can see it is a major improvement over email for information consumption.

However, I just read that the average number of friends is now 245, so maybe Dunbar was conservative? The degrees of separation is an important LinkedIn feature. Thanks for pointing it out.

So often, the basics are assumed and never taught. You asked for some suggestions, and I'd like to offer a few. First, you mention the "Power of 130." To this, you might add something regarding Dunbar's Number (150), the theoretical ceiling for manageable relationships. This is sometimes offered as a limitation to LinkedIn connections, with the defense being that even "weak ties" have value. Likewise, you might want to include something regarding LinkedIn's variance to the theory of Six Degrees of Separation: specifically, LinkedIn limits connections to Three Degrees in order to create a "trusted" network. My suggestions aside, this is an excellent job of using "plain English" to describe functionalities that are so often described in technicalities. Paul,
