A few months ago I tried an application that linked the friends of Facebook on a wheel, where moving the mouse it activates the links of the nodes connected.

Statistically I think it isn't a lot of functionality, but aesthetically not bad.

I have been using ManyEyes for a few years, one at Surrey we used a couple of years ago was a mini-project to compare market data and market news to explore relationships.

From what I remember, gathering the news was mostly a cut and paste job and a 100+ page doc of multiple blogs, comments, online newspaper articles.

Some examples of the original mindmap before we started, the blog text (very waffly) and a topic center on Many Eyes.

Also a Density Design presentation on visualization and design.

@merce what tool did you use to do that?

I used NodeXL to visualize some twitter activity from the #LAK11 hashtag. It is not quite as interactive but still very telling!
