Last year, TouchGraph launched a demonstration of their information network tool leveraging the Google API.
After playing with it a bit, I got terribly confused. What does this thing think my home page is about, anyway? Why am I related to Ania Mitros? Is this some soulmate I've yet to meet, or worse yet maybe we were supposed to meet yesterday on the bus.
Then I discovered that one of the other people related to her is my college roommate. OK, that's spooky.
Wait, another clue - his current page isn't related; it's his old UNC page. Aha! It considers us to be related because we are all alums of Margarett Root Brown College at Rice University.
Now I'm less impressed. Good to know that Bill made it back to Texas, though.
