Couldn't you wait until you read my announcement email for SourceGraph? :p

Other ideas I had for this kind of analysis:

* Examine the internal structure of a company/department/etc. in terms
  of the employee hierarchy.

* Who-knows-who: analyse address books (whether it's traditional, email,
  Facebook, etc.); this is related to the six-degree problem.
