Each person has ~130 friends.
That’s 130,000 people that could get exposed to the badge.
Assume 1/10 of those 130,000 people in turn simply post a message to their status line:
12,000 x 130 = 1,560,000 people + 130,000 = 1,690,000!

Simple (but Important) Concepts
• Offline Bias: Relationships on virtual social networks largely reflect offline relationships
• Priority Characteristics: Geography and occupation are the two strongest predictors for relationship determination
• Network of Networks: A large social network is actually a collection of many smaller networks
• Multiple Personas: Our role and the information and willingness to share that information varies by network.

IMPORTANT Social Networks for Nonprofits
January 2010 67
Page 68
© 2010 Common Knowledge
Social networks facilitate socializing, enhance communication and collaboration, and fundamentally grow relationships.
Social networking, however, serves and embellishes the delivery of your programs and mission online.
The end product is not socializing, the end product is better delivery of your mission and programs.

Social Networking + Service = Community
