The Social Graph is a model that depicts the relationships among individuals in social networks. This concept, popularized by Facebook[2] in 2007, is not limited to people but also includes other objects such as photos, events, and pages, expanding the concept to non-human elements. This model is widely utilized in social network[1] analysis, social commerce, and marketing. However, it’s not without its challenges. There are concerns over the ownership and monetization of social graph data, and issues like lack of seamless experience across various platforms. Despite Google[3] retiring its Social Graph API[4] in 2012, Facebook’s Social Graph continues to be a significant dataset, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg aiming for wider sharing of the data. Related concepts include sociomapping, sociometry, and anthropological linguistics.

2. Facebook ( Facebook ) Facebook, aujourd'hui connu sous le nom de Meta Platforms, est une grande société Internet qui a débuté comme plateforme de réseau social. Fondé par Mark Zuckerberg en 2004, Facebook s'est rapidement étendu de Harvard à d'autres universités, puis au grand public, devenant ainsi un phénomène mondial. Il est connu pour son interface conviviale et ses diverses fonctionnalités telles que les groupes, la plateforme pour développeurs et Facebook Dating. Bien que critiqué pour des questions telles que les atteintes à la vie privée et la diffusion de fausses nouvelles, Facebook est resté un acteur dominant du monde en ligne. L'entreprise a fait des progrès considérables dans le domaine de la technologie, notamment en développant son système unique de stockage de données, en utilisant PHP pour sa plateforme et en lançant le langage de programmation Hack. Ces dernières années, l'entreprise s'est tournée vers le métavers, un espace de réalité virtuelle où les utilisateurs peuvent interagir avec un environnement généré par ordinateur.

This animation shows the different types of relations between social objects. User Eva is a friend of Adam et Kate, though Adam et Kate are not friends themselves. Peter's photo was "liked" by many users, including Eva. Also Eva listened to the Last.fm radio and watched the video from YouTube.

The term was used as early as 1964, albeit in the context of isoglosses. Leo Apostel uses the term in the context here in 1978. The concept was originally called sociogram.

The term was popularized at the Facebook F8 conference on May 24, 2007, when it was used to explain how the newly introduced Plate-forme Facebook would take advantage of the relationships between individuals to offer a richer online experience. The definition has been expanded to refer to a social graph of all Internet users.

Since explaining the concept of the social graph, Mark Zuckerberg, one of the founders of Facebook, has often touted Facebook's goal of offering the website's social graph to other websites so that a user's relationships can be put to use on websites outside Facebook's control.
