Hi Hooman,

you've picked two nice examples there, especially the one from CBS is quite
cool. You could probably make something fairly similar to that using kumu.io,
although I'm not entirely sure they allow you to embed that into other web
sites.

If you actually want to program it (which is not simple), the best way to
do that would be D3, it has support for so-called "force-directed network
graphs". A simpler option may be Sigma.js, which can display files produced
with Gephi on the web.
