Notes:  

1. Check out the next post on the blog (about how to turn in the assignment). 
2. Your network might stall the app if you have over 1000 friends, and they have a lot of ties to each other.   People in that boat have gotten it to run, but I don't know what the secret is.  
1. The first thing is to try it from different computers or browsers to make sure it is not a problem with your local machine. 
2. If that still does not work-- I have suggested that people ask a friend (with a smaller network) to run the app, get the image, and then talk to them about their graph (which group is what, what is interesting, etc.
3. Then you can use their image and details.  Ideally you would use your own, since you would know more about it.  However,   the point is to think about how social interaction leads to different social network-- so you clearly can do that for someone else's network too.

1. In each colored group-- try selecting the people who are most in the middle of that color and who have relatively large circles. Think about why they would be friends with those surrounding them but not with others.
