No, there's not, but there will be in the [near?] future. :) Nifty thing, anyway.

That's brilliant. The interface is small though, and it shows with larger friends lists. Perhaps the option to expand the space for those of us with high resolution monitors?

Well done though!

Having a decent size for the java applet is difficult due to different browsers (some handle width=100%, some don't) and screen resolutions.
I'll look at that a bit more though.

You can "Float" the applet window (File->Float)
and then resize the window. You can also open
new windows.

The graph layout type and other parameters can be configured through the Layout menu (Set levels, max connections, etc).

I was going to do something like this, though for doing degrees of seperation graphs.

For kicks check out the imdb (internet movie
database) interface 7 degress of separation

Do you plan to release your source code?

i'm getting a [x] when i submit the name :^/

i'd love to get this to work cause yesterday i was thinking how i'd like to make a "map" with markers of the names of all my LJ friends. just a map of the world with little icons where each person lives. i think it's nerdy but it's kinda cool. it'd also be cool to have the same thing for your AIM buddy list, even if you had to manually enter their location.

nevermind i am stupid. i had to install java.
that's cool but it wasn't what i was thinking, i was thinking more of a geographical location tracker, if one exists.

Something along those lines does exist. It's a map-applet that you post in your LJ, and ask all your friends to indicate where they live. Don't recall the name of it or anything, though...

thanks, i'll keep an eye out for it

That's a really sweet applet. }:)
