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.

The term was popularized at the Facebook F8 conference on May 24, 2007, when it was used to explain how the newly introduced Plataforma do Facebook would take advantage of the relationships between individuals to offer a richer online experience.
