Jason Perlow over at ZDNet has a fun article up on TouchGraph, which applies basic Data Visualization methods to popular social networks like FaceBook, for fun results.
Immediately after I started using TouchGraph, I was able to determine that my friends belong to two primary groups — one related to technology and technology writing, and the other related to food — the two main areas I write about. I also was able to better understand where most of my friends were located due to their network association and lots of other metrics I wouldn’t normally have been aware of had I just used FaceBook itself.
