should everyone be linked in to one another

[jd.mubix at gmail.com (Rob Fuller)]

I have to agree with Jack here. I am at 48 of a possible 50 groups (Yes they
start notifying you when you get close). I think the ability to message
someone that is in one of the groups I am in without having to link them is
the advantage of groups. But I think this applies to any social medium. I
don't understand why some people have 50,000 follower and following 50,000
people on twitter. It can't be useful other than as a podium. I could be
wrong.
