I don’t suppose there is a way to use netvizz to visualise the network of facebook users other than your own???

Got error when tried to download dataset of personal network with all optional checkboxes checked:

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /var/www/fbapi/netvizz/index.php on line 172

Apparently there’s bit too much of changes in Facebook API’s (or at least friend keeps saying that…).

Would be nice if you have enough of time to check if it could be fixed in easily or not.

Could you provide the source code ? would be a great help in for me in building an app where people could add missing family members like relatives and siblings as nodes. Those people who are not on facebook are added by the user themselves ( happens in case of grandparents or parents) and then your cousins (younger members of family ) who are on facebook can be tagged and whatever info they have added can then be merged to make a bigger family graph.

Do you have any idea how to fix this? Thank you!

Great work!

I have two profiles on Facebook – one that’s more related to my professional life, and one that’s more personal. When I visualized both graphs, the personal one had a similar topology to yours, however, the professional one had four distinct communities centered around the personal profile (I befriended myself on Facebook

I don’t know if it’s possible in Facebook API, but maybe you could offer to filter the resulting GDF by contact groups, like this users could actually see how the shape of their graph changes depending on what is visualized. It has very interesting implications when you for exactly can notice how a certain community affects power law distribution in your graph or modularity for example.

Another feature (but that’s a dangerous one is to allow users to query charts of their friends (I saw that unless the user sets otherwise this data is available in Facebook API).

Oh man, that is cool! it’s amazing to see how different parts of our lives are “catalogued” or can be “mapped” based on the contacts and friends that we accrue. I’m sure a similar-looking graph would result in anyone who wasn’t a nomad. Neat-o.
