Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method to generate a graphical representation of a social network. The computer program product includes a computer useable storage medium to store a computer readable program that, when executed on a computer, causes the computer to perform operations related to generating a graphical representation of a social network. The operations include an operation to display a first node and a second node in a social network. The operations also include an operation to display an actual quality indicator representative of an actual level of quality of a connection between the first and second nodes of the social network. The operations also include an operation to display a target quality indicator representative of a target level of quality of the connection between the first and second nodes of the social network.
