Social graph - is it overhyped?

Here's a story from The Economist regarding about how the term "social graph", even though it is hot, is not really any thing new. Social graph is being mentioned everywhere on the Net because of Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and how Facebook is touting and is being given credit to the term "social graph". However, the social graph is something that has been done in Computer Science, according to Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google.

It seems that social graph is the new hot thing in Silicon Valley, and everyone is getting on the bandwagon. It'll be interesting to see if it will still remain hot for a while, or go like the dot com companies.
