Lost Circles – Visualize the hidden structure of your Facebook network
- JorgeGT 8y agoServer seems down, but I guess it refers to this? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lost-circles-social-netwo/ehpmfdlcppenimpibdifodjgfafkjhjl https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lost-circles-socia... I did something similar many years ago, exporting my Facebook data and plotting a simple force-directed graph [1] of my network, it was quite interesting how meaningful groups and connections emerge: https://wechoosethemoon.es/assets/img/posts/colores.png https://wechoosethemoon.es/assets/img/posts/colores.png --- [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-directed_graph_drawing?oldformat=true https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-directed_graph_drawing?o...
- davisonio 8y agoVery interesting! This tool only seems to collect the profile picture and provide a basic laggy interface to view it. Likely the tool you used previously for this dones't work thanks to API Facebook changes.
- woliveirajr 8y agoBuy it for $1.99 a year...
- hoopism 8y agoThe one time I don't read comments first :(
- floatrock 8y agoSo it's a bunch of EU Germans receiving payment for downloading your entire social graph and click-jacking your facebook session (this looks to be a chrome extension that would have access to everything, not something that uses even the marginally-permissioned oauth API). 1. Where is the GDPR privacy notice? 2. In light of all the cambridge analytica fallout, where is ANY privacy notice?
- tshanmu 8y agocan't upvote this enough!! I half expected this to be a psychological experiment to see if users use something like this after the Cambridge Analytica fallout
- davisonio 8y agoTrue I bought this as a one off since this was the only tool I found to gather the data easily.
- crossdiver 8y agoI see that Cambridge Analytica figured out their rebranding strategy.
- davisonio 8y agoIndeed...although from testing this the only thing they gather are the names and mutuals of your facebook friends with profile pictures.
