online community with limited scope of anonymity

recall: from dereck’s book… you can only really get to know ~120 people… so companies (eg. mec?) have started to limit the size of their offices to such a number and then open a new office when you need more employees.*

what if you set up an online community like anonymity that. anonymous sure… but you know your connected to everyone in the group by like, 2-3 degrees of separation. invite only, and once the population gets to ~100… start a new polis. (acro means high, polis means city. acropolis. high-city.)

each branch of such a company could perform R&D tasks… and each branch benefits from the success of the others. breakthroughs and steady progress welcome. learn from each other. sounds like communism…
