See your Twitter contacts in a whole new way with TweetWheel
TweetWheel is a web-based Twitter visualization tool that shows you how your friends and contacts are connected with one another. All you have to do is enter your Twitter username (no password needed) and TweetWheel will go to work digging up all of your contacts, and then probing their contact lists.
The process isn't quick, it can easily take a couple of minutes if you have a large number of contacts.

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.
