Wednesday Words: Social Graph

Some people will say your social network and social graph are the same thing - and in some ways they are, but there are actually programs that can graph out your connections and show how they are interconnected.

Today's word, however, is social graph. A social graph is a visual representation that shows the connections an individual has within a larger social network.  It shows who everyone is connected to and how, which is great for learning who influencers and brand champions are.

LinkedIn has a very nifty social graph that you can use to see what fields your connections are in and how they are connected to you.  Check it out here:  http://inmaps.linkedinlabs.com/
