See your Twitter contacts in a whole new way with TweetWheel

TweetWheel

TweetWheel is a web-based Twitter visualization tool that shows you how your friends and contacts are connected with one another.

The results would be pretty much impossible to decipher, if not for the fact that you can scroll over any Twitter user's name to get a close up look at their connection lines.
