actually i asked the same question in a somewhat different manner a few
weeks ago... i.e. to replace relations through intermediate nodes
representing the relation to allow for inclusion of the time based
dimension.. the question was if there is experiemce out there doing this
for bigegr graphs ..
hi, one advantage of an extra hop that represents the "event" of one user
following the other can be the fact that you can now link that "follow"
node/event to a timeline graph node which allows for time based traversal
.. and see what happened at some point in time.. who followed who .. when
