From the webpage:

Interative graph exploration

GraphInsight is a visualization software that lets you explore graph data through high quality interactive representations.

(video omitted)

Data exploration and knowledge extraction from graphs is of great interest nowadays: Knowledge is disseminated in social networks, and services are powered by cloud computing platforms. Data miners deal with graphs every day.

Humans are extremely good in identifying patterns and outliers. We believe that interacting visually with your data can give you a better intuition, and higher confidence on what you are looking for.

The video is just a little over one (1) minute long and is worth seeing.

Won’t tell you how to best display your data but does illustrate some of the capabilities of the software.

There are a number of graph rendering packages already but interactive ones are less common.

Now if we can have interactive graph software that hides/displays the graph underlying a text with all of the sub-graphs related to its content. So that it starts to mimic regular reading practice that goes off on tangents and finds support for ideas in unlikely spaces, that would be something really different.
