Francis, Social Graphs are definitely one of the more visible areas where a graph database, especially Neo4j, excels, and there are a number of Open Source projects and commercial customers building social network applications on top of Neo4j.
You can take a look at http://wiki.neo4j.org/content/Neo4j_In_The_Wild where the community tries to keep up with the projects, and will find a number of interesting algos, servers and libraries for Social Networking. >From the Neo Technology point of view, respecting our customers commercial privacy, we can't give you any hints on the commercial installations unless our customers themselfs choose to come forth.
