Yesterday I covered the TouchGraph application which provides another way to visualize your Facebook friends’ relationships. In contrast to TouchGraph which provides a method of directly interacting and controlling the visualization, Friend Wheel (created by Thomas Fletcher and Tim Halbert) creates a static wheel that displays the relationships of your friends. I have a feeling that we will see more of these visualizations in the future. This one is fairly simple but creates a great looking wheel that is displayed on your profile. While this application will add to the clutter on your page, it is fun to try it out and see what your Friend Wheel looks like. If you want a cool way to visualize the interconnectedness of your friends, go grab the Friend Wheel application.
