This doesn’t mean that conventionally defined relationships are DOA. Cultivating and nurturing our core relationships is more important than ever, and always will be. But today, the revolutionary nature of Social Media allows us to expand our connections beyond conventionally defined relationships. Social Media divas, gurus, zen masters, etc. generally agree, “when it comes to the size your Social Media network, bigger isn’t better.” They talk about the Dunbar 150 Number, and how it’s impossible to maintain real-meaningful-relationships with hundreds, let alone thousands. 150, that’s it, “If you have hundred’s of Facebook Friends, and or, Twitter Followers you’re not being “real”, or worse, you’re a poser, maybe even a spammer.” I’m not sipping their Kool-Aid. I call Monkey’s-Uncle. Let me explain why we should not limit the number of our Friends, or Followers, to a feeble, 150 conventional relationships. Read the rest @ AgentGenius.com - Click HERE.

I agree, Ken. The definitions have changed: Friends and Friendship are different. We need to expand our framework as we grow our businesses and our lives. The inner circle will always be sacred, and the outer circle will always be fluid. I love your thinking!
