Networks Anonymous: I had so many friends!

July 31, 2013 By Mariel Redlin

I currently have 1,222 friends on Facebook. I know, it sounds impressive. Some even might say, “Wow! You are one popular lady!” But sadly, author Jeff Stibel reveals that for humans, we are only capable of socializing with 150 people. This means that it’s difficult for us to maintain more than 150 relationships—that’s the social breakpoint of the brain. All networks operate on this basis.

Fortunately, help is available:

All networks hit their breakpoint. But it’s up to you what happens next- either thrive and survive like an ant colony, or collapse.

Pick up Breakpoint today to learn more about networks and how to anticipate  – and capitalize upon – a breakpoint!
