Some friends don't know anyone else I know. There are also a few separate clusters made up of friends, family, and coworkers with little or no connection to anyone else.

Using the Facebook API, some perl ninjitsu and Graphviz (neato), I was able to map out how all my friends on Facebook connect to one another.
is there a website that you can do this on? i have tried to do this in the past, but the only site i can find that does it is: www.friendexplorer.net, but it doesn't work for me.

This was inspired by friendexplorer.net actually, however they only supports 50 nodes/friends and you don't have much of a say in how the graph is displayed.
friendexplorer.net WILL however let you download the DOT file containing all friends, then you can use Graphviz to process the file.
Graphviz has binaries for both unix and window systems. If you're using windows, you will have some issues opening the DOT file to edit as it was created on a unix system (carriage return/line break issue). I suggest you use notepad++ to edit it.
I prolly won't be publishing a Facebook App as generating these graphs is VERY CPU intensive and would kill my web server.

thanks for the info. anytime i try to run anything on friend explorer, it gives me the error message: "Your friend explorer has timed out". so i can't load it on the site, or download the DOT file.
