I'm jazzed!

Found that on my profile, I can choose Visualize and see what I'm linked to or what a resource I'm connected to is connected to, and the diagram comes in pretty colors too.

Thank you, it is an open source software, was done by an amazing man.

I'll second that - this is a delightful feature, the kind of thing I always want but never get.

I agree, it's pretty cool. Unfortunately, it's not terribly useful. I would like to see a feature that would allow users to export their networks to a spreadsheet or give them access to a personal database of information to which they are entitled viewing privileges. This would allow a user's network character to actually influence decisions.

For example, if you find that a certain number of organizations to which you are connected need a particular resource, you might take steps to learn how to provide it (or, in a more specific case, maybe a great many orgs are looking to fill a position demanding skill set X and you need training to achieve set X, you'd know to get it!).

I would add, this exportable data could be devoid of contact information - allowing us to protect the privacy of users from spammers, marketers, political hacks and other selfish or mean-spirited agents.
