Comment by Brian Carlson on September 22, 2011 at 4:35pm: One of the things you can do with data visualization is to show relationships among people. Here's an image about Libya's anti-Gaddafi movement showing part of the network of connections between individuals (created by retweeting messages) in the early weeks of the movement. The individuals from which users retweet the most are shown with larger labels. Credit to my colleague Ali Fisher.
