Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] nwhyte for pointing me at Gephi, which is a very spiffy graphing tool. You can use it to make a big map of your FB friends, and how they all connect.

There's a fantastic guide to how to use it here, which I carefully followed my way through, tweaking numbers until I found something that worked well. And I ended up with this:


That's the absolutely tiny 65k version. The version where you can make out people's names is here, because it's 2.5MB and I didn't want to kill your internet by embedding something that large.

Apologies to a few of you for where you ended up - it's a semi-automated process, and while I'm sure (for instance) that [livejournal.com profile] rosamicula will be grumpy at being lumped in with the SF fans in this case I'm afraid you are you who you know :->

Bah. Netvizz is incompatible with an https connection to Facebook.

Is it purposeful that it sort of looks like a map of the UK?

Yes - I was wondering that.

Totally going to cast it up to Erin every time she complains about being seen as 'Mo's girlfriend' that she's more hooked in than me on your chart.

Hmm. I've been mulling over a post about liking writing about the past, rather than the future, for a while. This may be the spur!
