The Data Driven Journalism site has an explainer telling you how to visualise your Twitter, Facebook or Google+ connections using a tool called Gephi.
The post is written by Tony Hirst and is a cross post from his OUseful blog.
He explains how he has visualised the @WiredUK Twitter connections.
As a journalist you might want to try visualising your own network, but it could also be interesting to study connections of a key person within your news beat.
