Visualization of graph data is incredibly challenging, particularly when it comes to extremely large, scale-free graphs and social networks. A few simple searches on the Web and you will find some mesmerizing and very cool images. Perhaps the most cited and fascinating of these are Matt's "Mapping the Blogosphere" series. Some of my favorite tools for graph visualization are LGL (see Twitter visualization using LGL), Prefuse, Guess and UCINet (no specific ranked order). I have also been waiting to get a chance to try out AT&T;'s large network visualization software. Two other promising tools that I have not played with yet are Tulip (TOTH Eytan!) and yWorks. Following is an image I had generated a year ago (more here) using UCINet. This is a community of political blogs discovered using an implementation of Dr. Mark Newman's community detection algorithm:
