Graph Databases Make Apps Social by Adrian Bridgwater.

Neo Technology has suggested that social graph database technology will become a key trend in the data science arena throughout 2012 and beyond. On the back of vindicating comments made by Forrester analyst James Kobielus, the company contends that social graph complexities are needed to meet the high query performance levels now required inside Internet scale cloud applications.
Unsurprisingly a vendor of graph database technology itself (although Neo4j is open source at heart before its commercially supported equivalent), Neo Technology points to social graph capabilities, which take information across a range of networks to understand the relationships between individuals.
Sounds like applications of interest to DoD/DARPA doesn’t it?
