Click on the image to see how Nexus visualizes my Facebook friends network in a single undirected graph. Every dot is a contact and the lines represent the connections between them. The formulated clusters correspond to neighborhoods of people that (seem to) connect with each other. The real Nexus graph provides a high degree of interaction. It’s rather impressive to click, watch and recall when and under what specific circumstances I’ve met all these people.

From things like this, a key technique in modern sociology, information science, economics, and biology has emerged: Social Network Analysis. Yet another Big Brother tool some people would argue.
