SNTTT Session 1: Sanjay Belkhode on SNT
The first SNTTT was on Wednesday, August 1st, 2007 at 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm at T.J. Pagoda’s in the Ottawa Market.
We had an excellent turnout for the first session. Sanjay went over a few slides. Some discussion about the Dunbar number came up. One thing I notice is that most people when confronted with the concept of the Dunbar number they debate weather the number 150 is the right number or not.

I think the number was calculated with a set of assumptions that would vary. So the claim of 150 isn’t really that important. I think that the fact that there is a limit or a capacity is of interest though. This is especially relevant when talking about networks where the ties have reciprocation. I brought up the example of dance partnerships. If you have too many dance partners, you will eventually get attrition since you’ll be too spread out.
