BuddyGraph is a personal visualization research project created by Jeff Potter that allows anyone
like you to see how your social network is connected by analyzing your email files.
A social network is simply who knows who. This visualization
shows each person as a name on the screen, and draws a line between any
two people when they know each other.
This software works by analyzing an individual's email files to
generate a list of connections. A surprising amount of data comes from
its
ability to form groups out of individuals, which allow a knowledgeable
interactor to deduce trends in the data set and infer connections
surrounding events.
