Last but not least: Social Brainwork

The higher the number of Facebook friends, the bigger the brain. What was already clear to many people has now been confirmed by science.

In contrast to investors, data protectionists and advertisers, scientists seem to be delighted with Facebook. Recently British researchers using the social network to show that the size of the virtual circle of friends correlates positively with the size of the brain. The scientists based their findings on the assumption that people with large brains are better able to interpret the feelings, beliefs, attitudes and wishes of those around them. Consequently, they should be able to manage a larger social network.

So what we always suspected is proving to be true: Those people who define themselves mainly by their high number of Facebook friends, who annoy even the most casual acquaintance with friend requests and who have a mixture of pity and contempt for users with a manageable number of contacts... are very intelligent.
