Network Diagraming Goes Glam

Our discussion today about network diagramming reminded me of the apparently now-defunct Facebook App "Friend Wheel." It created pretty pretty pictures of your friends and how they were related. There were a few different options for how the App ordered the friends on the wheel and selected colors, so not all the images you'll find if you Google Image Search "Friend Wheel" will be directly comparable, but I still recommend it, if for nothing else than the pretty pictures.

Here's a blog about the history--the creator's site and facebook page are no longer working.

Does anyone else remember this?

  1. I didn't know that this application is no longer working. That is really sad. It produced such nice graphs...
