In good company; visualising social networks

A colleague of mine just pointed me to TouchGraph, a nice little service which allows you to see relations between any kind of Google search and/or your Facebook contacts.

Here's how they explain it:

"The Touchgraph Google Browser allows exploring the network of similar pages in Google."

And heres what it gives in the case of Conversationblog.com... I am in not too bad a company, at least my blog isn't.

"The TouchGraph Facebook Browser shows connections between users based on friendships and common photo appearances."

Here's the image based on my friends network... Judge for yourselves.

They also have an Amazon browser which shows you the intricate links between books, music etc... on a similar subject. It is nice to see how the "relationship bubbles" are built and how the links are created. Great for giving insight.
