Christopher Allen dives into the detail of my ecosystem of networks. His analysis suggests some of the more optimal sizes below 12 and 150 with some great anecdotes.

Instead I would suggest that our challenge as creators of social software is to enhance social capital so productive teams can be dynamic while extending their limits with cohesion.
