Hi.
It's not a web app, but we built a prototype of 3D graph visualizer before:

http://d.hatena.ne.jp/keiono/20081122/1227423548

However, the problem is it is very difficult to create an intuitive
and easy to use user interface to browse a 3D space.  Also, it is a
bit vague what the significant advantage over 2D space beyond
"coolness."  This is a data visualization problem in general.

Thanks,

Kei
Cytoscape Core Developer
