@QMUL_Reza interesting, why specifically the gossip protocol, do you know where your clusters will be or are they dynamic?

[Safwaan Hussain @QMUL_SH303]

@QMULPandaaa Studies suggest that facebook friends are mostly not real friends but there are a few that would count as real friends.

@QmulKristin This may be why the dunbar number in the studies seem higher, odd that it would seem lower in the one i quoted.

[Safwaan Hussain @QMUL_SH303]

@QmulKristin both our previously quoted studies define a looser value to what may attribute to a Dunbar number.

[Safwaan Hussain @QMUL_SH303]

@QmulKristin where 'grooming' had been first defined by the interaction between monkeys then modified for human social interactions.

[Safwaan Hussain @QMUL_SH303]

@QmulKristin The definition provided in that article was the amount of people of whoes interaction you spent was mad eup of 60% 'grooming'.

[Safwaan Hussain @QMUL_SH303]

@QmulKristin that is not a informative definition and can't be used in studies, just wondering what dunbar defined it as for his study.

[Safwaan Hussain @QMUL_SH303]

@QmulKristin interesting it however seems to have a differnt definition for what counts as a dunbar number. what is dunbar's definition?

[Safwaan Hussain @QMUL_SH303]

@QmulKristin http://t.co/CvsZcdgaMa this might be it.

[Safwaan Hussain @QMUL_SH303]

@QmulKristin according to the slides it was a Huberman study on twitter that was pointed out as the basis of hamids claim.
