Google Social Graph API

The Google Social Graph API lets you make interesting connections. Bringing those connections to the surface is quickly becoming increasingly important for business and social applications.
This is going to be a trend for the foreseeable future. Users want to see their social graph; it makes the applications more useful and engaging.
With the Google Social Graph API, developers can now utilize public connections their users have already created in other web services. It makes information about public connections between people easily available and useful. So start thinking about how you can leverage the social graph with your applications on opensocial or other places.
So what do you think some good applications of the Google Social Graph API are? Leave your comments.

I’d like to know where it’s been deployed so far.
how is this different from the Nexus friend graphing application already on facebook?
i’m guess that its similar to the nexus friend graphing application expect you don’t have to use it on facebook. I’m guess its an open app so you can chuck it on any web app or site you are running… Just a guess…
But this idea is awesome! Very useful however I’m wondering if this data will be used by spammers to find all your friends and spam them saying, Hi I’m a friend of Bob…
Then you might reply and bang … more spam in your facebook, myspace, etc…
Anyways can’t wait for it to check it out.
