when we were talking about web analytics in class it definitely got me thinking about what people can find out about me, especially through facebook since it's the main site i use. it is interesting how this person was able to organize all of these people based on their location, where their friends are, and what pages they are fans of. it is also kind of creepy in a way since i clicked on the rochester, ny group and saw someone i recognized. either way, its definitely a good example of web analytics.
