I made a web page that will draw radial trees and force directed graphs from the JSON feed(s) of your network.
The thing is Im kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to sharing it. Id like to put it out there, but the one-second-between-queries rule presents a usability problem. I used a recursive algorithm to build a graph from 1-4 levels deep (you and your friends, you and your friends and their friends, etc). Unfortunately, executing the raw algorithm breaks rule. When I can get away with it the graphs build quickly. But, I got blocked often while developing and testing the script. I want to play by the rules. I put in a wait function to throttle it back, but then performance is lousy. Joshua, your network at 2 levels deep builds in about 20 seconds when I remove the throttle. But with the 1 second delay it takes forever. You have a friend that has 650 friends. Ive put customizable limits on number of friends and depth of recursion, but I think its still not enough. How can I share this with the community in a way that stays within the lines without sacrificing usability? Or maybe the right question is CAN I share this with the community? I think its both useful and interesting. By the way, it doesnt have to be limited to networks. I think we could show tag relationships using the same basic principle. Kevin M.

Network graphs should be interesting (though, different kinds of graph). But I don't find an API interface or RSS feed for my network. Are these available? Pat's idea is about tag relationships.

Hi, Random idea: I think it would be very interesting to see stock-market-style graphs of which tags are the most popular. Personally, I'd like to compare names of human languages: How does "Spanish" compare to "Español"? "Español" vs "Português"? and so on. But that's just me; I imagine computer language comparisons would be interesting to loads of people, as would a "top ten" graph. Just a thought.
