Replying to add a link to the full paper: https://www.ericz.one/aof.pdf <- note, he only mentions it in this paper.

There's a more detailed explanation in this one!

P.S. Thanks for your patience! Been a bit since I was on here.

My first impulse is AHrefs. It's geared towards SEO so its ratings are estimates of volume over time (in which you can view 'virality' if there is a spike in traffic).

Thank you for this comment (sorry this Thank You was delayed; I came back here to add what I've added below, but realize that I hadn't replied to you).  I came across this today: https://www.newsminimalist.com/ The Homepage: This is another interesting use case of LLMs, this time for meaningful content sorting and tracking, and is helpful in a way different from how you utilized GPT-4 for my initial question. With some additional modification / development, perhaps LLMs can produce a site with all the features I indicated above, or at least something closer to them than https://www.newsminimalist.com/, which I view as a stepping stone. Anyway, I thought you might find the link / concept interesting!

You're actually hitting on an academically acknowledged hard limit to the number of people whose mind states you can keep track of in conversation.

Dunbar talks about it in one of my favorite papers of all time The Anatomy of Friendship. Happy to send you a copy if you're interested :D

I know this comment/thread is a decade old, but I come back to the chapter on business models multiple times a year because it's a concise overview and particularly useful in combinatoric idea generation. 

Figured I'd give my thanks knowing there's a chance the author will read this comment... Thanks Josh!!
