Before Facebook dies

can we do but still a little bit what this. Because not only the discussions of recent weeks clearly yes, that the initial euphoric charms of Facebook is slowly dried up. Even before one year and one day I wrote Yes very far-sighted, how it will be dermaleinst with the death of Facebook's. In between we build a few apps, ok?

What has fascinated me from the outset on Facebook, is the figure of relations. Especially the cluster of groups of people I know on Facebook - and who know each other with each other on Facebook. Newest toys for something is Wolfram alpha, an information machine that combines the results of analysis and search results and visually prepared and makes computerable quite currently. The pictures in this post are from Wolfram Alpha - I've fed the site with my Facebook account:
Funny, how much people I know can be assign to each other. My wife, for example, is the great spot since, the other right are people from my family. A Kirchencluster, quite unconnected with each other in red, the political fit in green.

And as I am so then yes indeed show the people that I know. For example, what relationship status they give me in (because only that can Wolfram Alpha)
 
 
 
 
Or, as I myself use Facebook. Of which external instruments, for example, (or applications, which we would again be in the apps, but this is - certainly not untypical, but to do this another time more - of the amount her disappearing low) I there what write purely - and when:
 
 
 
 
 
Scary? Yes. But the price of the great possibilities of communication which offers me a network.

More so than any internal statistics, Facebook offers me and which I use for pages in which I am involved, professionally, such visualizations and statistics, help understand Facebook - and also the way we talk to each other and write. Who we know and how that may come. When I look at my stats, I realize again: Yes, Facebook (and how I use it, which is certainly not extremely intensive, because is my main instrument and remains Twitter) my life in the carbon world pretty well covers. So also are the people I know there. So they form groups and clusters too, so is the rhythm of my day.
