How many different digital selves are we going to fracture? Ben seems to manage 6 different lives.
As a rule of thumb a manager can manage about 10 direct reports. Fewer if there is deep interaction and more if there is only a very light touch expected.
Other rules of thumb indicate the people may directly interact with around 100. Given that for some thing to become a registered club in Germany one needs 7 people which may well be sensible lower threshold for a long term social endeavor. Combined give a max of 13 social circles.
This thinking is reminiscent of Google Groups social circle thinking but on a heterogeneous technical and administrative foundation.
