Yes. I have been contemplating the potential to (sort of) "extend" the "Dunbar Number" through technology. To illustrate such potential we can consider our activity here on Steemit. Most of us serious contibutors here have built a following of 500 + (often into the 1000s), which is CLEARLY beyond the standard "Dunbar Number". Yet, by using a tool like SteemFollower we are able to receive a significant amount of data from a sizeable portion of our followers. Those who have enough SP to be able to vote for HUNDREDS of posts per day could be the most illustrative of this concept. For me, there are NUMEROUS people who get my daily upvote SIMPLY because they have gained my trust in terms of quality of post content and frequency. I am also seeing their activity daily. Perhaps with some more long-term metric capacity (the users you upvote regularly graphed on a chart including the groth of their SP, following, freuqency of posts, and frequency of your upvotes of their pos[teas] we COULD begin to reach past the "Dunbar Limit" RIGHT HERE on SteemFollower. Then we could start speculating on higher numbers and how tools could be developed for those higher quantities of data. in other words, we could start such an expieriment RIGHT HERE and then scale it. It might be interesting to run this by @mahdiyari to see what he thinks...

I requested this ability to track metrics a while back.
