LinkedIn’s Beautiful Network Graph Visualization

2011/01/25

My LinkedIn Map - click for large version

LinkedIn Maps is a new way for LinkedIn users to get a picture of their social network. While this is an obvious thing to to for a social networking platform, it’s astonishing how long it took them to come up with something like this.

One nice thing about this visualization is the color-clustering. Look how neat it distinguishes between my study contacts (KISD), the Austin/TX bunch (Trilogy and AIESEC) and my current former employer nexum AG.

How does your map look like?

Managed to get more than 50 connections in linkedIn and was finally able to see my graph. Not stunning at all :) . But a great way to motivate users to update their profile! ;)
