Explaining The Social Graph

Everyone’s talking about Social Graphs and Jeremiah Owyang recently penned a wonderful and brief synapsis of what a Social Graph is and what it means to your business.


From his post:

"The Social Graph is the representation of our relationships. Today, these graphs define our personal, family, or business communities on social websites. Unfortunately, we’re duplicating our same Social Graph on multiple websites, resulting in inaccurate data and time spent managing it. Despite many challenges, our Social Graphs should be self-managed from a single trusted source, replicated to websites of our choosing, thus resulting in accurate, efficient, relationship management."

But sometimes words—even highly synthesized words aren’t enough. So I’m including two recent visuals in this post that are related to the topic of Social Graphs. Feel free to use them in your next presentation. Credit is always appreciated.
