social graph

A node-link diagram whose nodes are people and whose edges are one named relationship, such as has worked with, has introduced, or owes a favor to. Naming the edge is the whole discipline. It is what stops the picture from collapsing into a general sense of who knows whom, and it is what makes a broker, someone standing between two groups that do not otherwise touch, findable.

Example

Best when the nodes are people and you can state the one relationship an edge means.
