One of the ideas that he throws out is the concept of "150" max for a social group. He says that if a crowd becomes bigger than this then it stops functioning due to the complexity. I am currently following around 140 people on Twitter and I am now starting to struggle, yet not all of them are active.
If I had 140 active uses I would probably sink under all the tweets, therfore this week I am going to investigate my Twitter crowd and hopefully next week I will have a meaning full post on the subject.
My aim is to find out, if anyone else has posted anything regarding guidelines on Twitter usage, and hopefully create a 10 commandments of Twitter post. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them.

Yeah, I understand. I'm following 64 and sometimes there's lots chatter between people that I don't know what they're talking about. I find myself having to scroll back a long way to make sure I have not missed tweets from people I do know. Yet, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings that have asked to follow me, so I follow them too if they don't have hundreds of others they're following.
1 simple Rule with Twitter ...above all else dont forget to post what your doing right now...its amazing how many people forget this!

I just posted about this recently (on Twitter). I'm thinking I'll follow 100 people max. Same with Facebook friends. It might be a worthwhile exercise to purge people once in a while....Sounds horrible, I know. Mostly those who NEVER post anything or those you have nothing in common with. Yes, its a bit harsh, but we are talking about people you've never met for the most part and if you have nothing in common what's the point of following them?
