I know we talk a lot about privacy here and Google's requirement to use your real name. When seeing people's names and the network effects of events like this, it gets a bit unsettling. At least with Facebook, social networks and groups are relatively closed.
Update: Imagine the ability for a govt/group/organization to constrict the information flow by eliminating the strongest nodes in the sharing structure.

I'm no Facebook expert, but I believe that Facebook also has the three ingredients necessary to do this: 1) the ability to make public posts, 2) the concept of sharing posts, and 3) attribution of who the post came from when you share it. It's not like this Google+ visualization is about private posts. The following page clearly says it is limited to those that are public. http://www.google.com/support/plus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1713320&p=about_ripples http://www.google.com/support/plus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&a...
