Whats your Dunbar number?

Interesting article over at Web Worker Daily – I think my Dunbar number is low, probably about 100/120. Keeping track of all these relationships is difficult – but if you look around, the tools are out there to help you.

For example – Steve Clayton showed me a tool called Terraminds, which allows you to search exclusively inside the Twitter eco-system, I’ve been experimenting to find out whether people are twittering about me, or AdCenter or the competition – it means that I don’t have to follow these people on twitter, I can just look at the whole eco-system at once.

This really adds to one of the reasons I suggested you should be using Twitter, it’s a ‘pull’ environment which is less intrusive than mail and IM – so people are using it to capture digital ephemera and thoughts.

I’m convinced this is where all the fast moving conversations are happening on the web. Try terraminds with some search terms and you’ll see the buzz happening.
