Network analysis
Keyplayer, for identifying key nodes
DNA, for discourse analysis
Graph Commons: simple and beautiful interface for collaborative network-building, with some basic network algorithms built in - you can also import/export data; check it out.
gephi: very popular tool for network science. Gephi tutorials
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.
SocNetV: easy to use, but a bit buggy last I checked. Will run a "spider" mapping a portion of the web.
