NodeXL, iGraph in R, iGraph in Python... what's your favorite language? I find iGraph in R very friendly and I really want to try rBokeh to see an interactive visualization. So maybe more info on which skills you can leverage?

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Librarian seeks online tool to create interactive network map
Hey everyone,
I am looking for a more effective way to show how various projects and people across a number of universities are related. I've looked at mind-mapping tools (see
http://lifehacker.com/five-best-mind-mapping-tools-476534555) and also http://www.thebrain.com/, but I think what I'm really trying to create is akin to a social network map, some thing like you see at http://flowingdata.com/2014/06/22/clubs-that-connect-world-cup-national-teams/
but of course I don't need that level of sophistication -- though the interaction is sweet.
any ideas, mind hive?
Kim

"I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group. They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man.
I wouldn't mess with them."
