Been wanting to make a graph of all all the people I follow on Twitter (a far better indicator of quality than "people" who follow me), and use that to determine grouping (these are my Perl friends, these are my Music friends, these are my Lafayette friends, etc) and discern who I'm not following in certain social circles.
I can fairly easily, for each user, get a list of everyone they follow and everyone who follows them. I can also go by last-status-update and cut out anyone who hasn't tweeted in a month -- really, if they aren't active on Twitter, why follow them? -- but there's a raft of graph-related problems I don't begin to understand that are sure to come up.
Anyone have pointers to good sources on groking graphs?
