Thats exactly what we are about to unleash.. You can navigate thru it, and see it from any user's perspective.

Right now, all our graphing/visualization stuff is focused on users, and their relation to other users.

A graph/visulization of the spread of a particular Meme/article is on my list of things to experiment with, but thats still a little ways off. I'm not entirely sure how it will work yet.
