Visualise your Facebook Friends Network

I’ve got my Facebook app into a usable state, and would love to get some feedback from you all!

The idea was that I would spend no more than 10 hours work on it, so it’s a little rough around the edges. If you could spare a few minutes, please check out the following:

Facebook friends vis

It will examine your Facebook friends, and start to link them together. This process will take a while if you have many friends! After the linking process has been complete, the visualiation will re-arrange itself to show you clusters of friends.

You can zoom in and out, and scroll the visualization. Hovering over nodes also reveals the name of the friend.

Anyway, let me know what you think — most importantly, does it even work for you?!

I’ll add another post at a later date detailing the technical aspects of how I put this together.
