[Air-L] Gephi - open visualization platform for networks

[Bernhard Rieder]

Gephi is really a great piece of software. I recently wrote a little 
script that allows people to export their Facebook networks or the 
groups they are members of to a .gdf file - which can then be opened 
with gephi or other toolkits...
