Does anyone have any ''friends-to-friends/affiliates'' local transforms that have been privately developed?
Thanks,

Dan,

It''s out there - perhaps some kind individual will care to share theirs. (you know who you are!!)

Dan,

Dropped you an email on your PN account.  Let''s chat and see about writing some of our own too.

I have written a transform which logs into Facebook using provided credentials and retrieves friend information.

It returns "Person" objects with full name, photo and Facebook ID as additional info.

Would there be any advantage to using affiliation objects instead of Person objects?

Would it still be possible to have photos (<IconURL>) on the objects?

Hi H,

All entity types support the IconURL field. Using the affiliation is definitely a lot cleaner as it means any other transforms written for that type can be used on it.

Are Affiliation entities intended to be linked to a Person or do they make sense standalone as well?

Average users on Facebook have 100+ friends so even just retrieving 4 or 5 peoples` friends makes for a very full graph.

Is there anything that could be done to speed up zooming and scrolling with very large graphs (like 1000+ entities?)

H,

In the new version we have collection nodes (might have seen them in the BH Amsterdam presentation) as well as ''lazy loading'' on images, these will massively improve the speed of large graphs. Just be patient for the next release Smiley

With regards to the Person/Affiliation, generally it works that you would take a person/email Address to an affiliation, its a way of linking them, and i think it definitely works, it helps keep the social networking information a little bit separate and a bit ''tidier'' in terms of how the graph is laid out.

Also you can''t immediately put down an affiliation, it has to be derived.
