Ideas for Project 1

I was browsing through Facebook (yes, I am addicted and sad) and found a wheel of friends. All of these people are interconnected in some way which makes the process fascinating and complex. This made me realize about the Uni Village's networking system. We all live in the same place, go to the same uni and all have a history - however big or small - with each other or not. I think I'd like to do a web-site type thing with profiles for each unit and see who is connected to another person, has a class with someone else, have similar friends outside of the village etc. It could be quite interesting and non-linear.
I would use pictures of people, maybe even have a little flash animation going on with a few people, but I'd imagine it would be mostly text-based as there are so many of us.
