<p>Systems and methods for visualizing social graphs are provided. A user may initiate the visualization of connections between themselves and others in one or more network communities by selecting a first and second contact in one or more social networks. Contacts are selected for the visualization of the social graph, and a spatial distribution of the nodes is calculated. Nodes in the visualization of the social graph are rendered based on the calculated spatial distribution. Connections between the nodes may be rendered based on connectivity statistics calculated between the rendered nodes.</p>
