Touchgraph, anyone for a business application?

A couple of days ago I went through this cool web tool called Touchgraph.

A java application used to visually explore the connection between the elements of a database. It shows 3 different implementations in very large sites such as Google, Amazon and Facebook.

Here's the results for keywords "job search" in Touchgraph Google.

Although a very cool display of the information, I found it somehow disappointing. After sharing the finding of this tool with some friends and business partners it took us sometime to come up with a potential business application other than the obvious visual appeal, although for a large set of connected elements, the visual effect is diminished.

Going through their clients section my thought was confirmed. Basically it is used as a simple diagram generator rather than as an analytical tool, where nature of the relationships between elements is not visually intuitive. Two examples below.
