Social Network Diagram for Perry Bob J.

Here's the graphic part:

The site has an interesting premise, sort of Google meets Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Like Google, they're not trying to create an AI that "understands" in a human sense. Rather, they're piggybacking on human understanding by following the connections that humans make. I expect it'll be right most of the time, very wrong some of the time. In the same way that Google's results are more reliable near the top of the list, I'd give more weight to strong connections in a social network graph (those inferred from many sources and depicted by close proximity) than those that are weak. If the graph shows Perry and Coors practically joined at the hip, it has an extremely high probability of being correct.
