Facebook Friend Wheel

I recently added the 'Friend Wheel' application to my Facebook profile, and I'm rather fascinated by the results:

Yeah, their clustering seems not quite optimal. For example, Jay Pujara is definitely pulling a bunch of CMU links across the circle.

He always was a rebel though. :-)

I don't understand how a lot of their clustering works to begin with. I mean, it has all of my friends from SIG together and that makes sense, but it has my little brother in the middle of a bunch of CMU people without his best friend (whom I've listed as a relative) anywhere near him.

Holy crap, that graph is amazing.

But yeah, I'm not sure if they specify how they order their graph nodes.

Ok, that's just a cool app...
