Abstract

Systems and methods for visualizing trust scores in a social graph are described herein. The trust scores may be determined within or between individuals, groups, and/or entities connected in a network. A user may initiate the visualization of connections between themselves and others in the network. Contacts are selected for the visualization of the social graph, and a spatial distribution of the nodes is calculated. Nodes in the visualization of the social graph are rendered based on the calculated spatial distribution. Connections between the nodes may be rendered based on connectivity statistics calculated between the rendered nodes.
