Social Media is bound by our human limitations & Alexander van Elsas's Weblog on new media & technologies and their effect on social behavior - http://vanelsas.wordpress.com/2009...
From the page: "Anyone can now create, publish and distribute content across the web. The technologies involved allow you to reach out to audiences far beyond your social network.

In a sense many of the current successful web 2.0 companies try to scale down this endless stream of content and conversations. Our human limitations do not allow us to follow 10.000 people, process millions of pieces of content and interact over all of them."

From the page: "Judging by what I read, the author is a man. He's a pretty solid speller and has a working knowledge of the bus routes, so that rules out just about all of management." "
