Very cool. I remember back at Caltech when Adam D'Angelo wasn't a Quora founder and was just a hacker dude he made buddy zoo and it had these awesome social graphs. I think this was ported into the early version of facebook and didn't really end up doing that much because the graphs were very simple. Now that social networks have an older audience with a more complex social graph I think this type of stuff could be really useful (especially if you could create FB or other groups from it).

That feature was the main selling point for FB for me when I first signed up back in 2004. I have to assume I wasn't the only one!

  Yes, I remember that graph back when I first joined FB in college (2005). I loved seeing how my friend groups cluster. I could see my main two groups of friends, I could see the various clubs I was a member of, etc. I could even see when I started introducing my friends from different groups to each other, and they started to merge at the edges. It was great, and I miss it. Unfortunately, I don't think it'd be very useful anymore since FB is no longer college-centric...
