Social Photos

Flickr Graph is an application that explores the social relationships inside flickr.com.

I had been wanting to build a similar flash-based graph visualizer ever since building a FOAF social network visualizer on top of Touchgraph a few years ago. Although I love what Alex Shapiro has done with Touchgraph, and appreciate him sharing the source code so that I could provide the FOAF demo, I always wanted to see a flash based version in similar style. Marcos Weskamp delivers a stunning implementation with his Flickr Graph.

And what makes it all possible? Flickr’s REST style Web services of course.
