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<http://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.

Dear All

I’m going to design an interactive social graph like these projects:

Could you tell me which programming language I should learn to do it?

Thanks,

Hooman
