Will Thalheimer suggests that we need to explore learning applications of technologies that measure social interactions (see this article), with a particular focus on helping learners understand their "networking tendencies". I recall development of a visualization tool in Moodle (allowing educators to visualize how learners comment on each others posts). I have no idea what happened with that. Touchgraph shows relationships between documents/people in Google or Facebook. A tool that visualizes our physical interactions with other people would add an additional dimension to some of the analysis available based on online interactions.
