Out of curiousity, how are you finding working with SNA? I expect that your market/customers are primarily large companies with lots fo data.

Exactly, yeah. We've had that on the back-burner for a while actually. I got as far as doing some prototyping a while back, but we haven't truly implemented SNA the way we plan yet. Hopefully very soon I'll be able to start putting more time into that.

FWIW, my interest in using SNA in the organizational setting was heavily inspired by reading The Hidden Power of Social Networks. http://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Power-Social-Networks-Understan... If you haven't seen that yet, it might be worth a look.

It's all about applying Social Network Analysis in organizations, mapping informal power structures, etc. Good stuff.
