Network analysis

Graph Commons: just found this one recently; check it out.

gephi: very popular tool for network science

NodeXL another popular tool that works in conjunction with Excel (mainly Windows - but there are solutions for mac too)

Ucinet: one of the standard SNA packages, along with Pajek.
