The fallacy of Facebook 'friends'

Posted by Ed Allen on Monday, 25 January 2010 , under , , , | comments (0)




An Oxford University researcher has put forward evidence that demonstrates how having more than 150 friends on a social networking site is meaningless.

Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology Robin Dunbar has combined studies of various social groups from ancient times onwards with knowledge of the human brain's capacities. Following this research he argued that the maximum number of proper inter-personal relationships a person is capable of sustaining is 150 at best.

Dunbar only recently turned his attentions toward the study of social networking sites. The results obtained by studying the interactions between users of networking sites like Facebook confirmed that people with thousands of buddies sent and received the same amount of traffic as people with smaller friend counts.

In Dunbar's own words: “The interesting thing is that you can have 1,500 friends but when you actually look at traffic on sites, you see people maintain the same inner circle of around 150 people that we observe in the real world.”

It is safe to conclude therefore that people with 1,500 Facebook buddies haven’t got 1,500 real friends, they just want to look popular.

Facebook fugitive Craig Lynch caught by police

Posted by Ed Allen on Thursday, 14 January 2010 , under , , , , | comments (0)



Craig "Lazie" Lynch, 28, who escaped from Hollesley Bay Prison in September, was arrested by the Met Police in Kent on Tuesday night.

Since the escape Lynch became a global internet sensation after the press discovered his Facebook fan page, where he routinely mocked police officers with crude insults and clues to his location.

He amassed a 40,000 strong following from around the globe before his profile was taken down.

Last month Lynch posted a photo showing him holding the cooked turkey and wearing a strand of tinsel while raising his middle finger to the camera. Below the image, a caption read: “Here's proof. How could I get my hands on a bird like this in jail. ha ha.”

He was finally arrested by the Metropolitan Police in Kent this morning after spending New Year’s Eve watching a fireworks display in London and enjoying a traditional Christmas dinner.

Somewhat prophetically, Lynch had written the following under the 'personal information' section of his Facebook profile: “You’ll have a laugh with me but it will end in tears. It always does.”

Lynch appeared at Bexleyheath Magistrates’ Court this morning, charged with escaping from lawful custody.

Town's mayor caught stealing women's underwear

Posted by Ed Allen on Monday, 4 January 2010 , under , , , | comments (4)




A Lancashire town mayor, Ian Stafford, has admitted stealing women's underwear after being caught in the act on camera.

Footage showed Stafford, 59, walking into a woman's bedroom and searching through her drawers before selecting a pair of knickers to take home and wear.

The two-term mayor of Preesall and Knott End then performed a sexual act before leaving the building.

Police later found a collection of underwear, identical to the items reported stolen, at his home.

The woman who made the recording was one of three Stafford targeted between January 1 and June 26 last year.

After noticing that some of her underwear had disappeared she decided to install the hidden camera.

Stafford has now resigned his position as Mayor.
