I did, however, play around with some of the additional features and found this nifty arrow tool (as shown above) which makes it clear the relation\u00a0of\u00a0&#8220;who knows who.&#8221; Additionally, through the different sizes and\u00a0weights of the\u00a0fonts and nodes, you can tell who has the most connections as well as\u00a0who\u00a0has the least, although this might be more difficult to\u00a0discern with\u00a0bigger datasets.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, playing around with the network graph function showed the immense possibilities that Google Fusion Tables provides.
