I'm looking for software that can draw a kind of "network diagram", showing the all the links between entities, and arranging the entities/lines automatically on the page. For instance, I've always wanted to draw a big diagram showing everyone I know, then draw lines between the people I know who know each other. Ideally, I'd like to be able to enter, simply, each persons name, and a list of all the people they know, and have it generate the diagram from that. I see this kind of thing all the time on the web - diagrams of what sites link to each other, or what bands sound like each other - but is there a simple Windows program that will do the same thing?

I am looking for an image depicting the different storylines/-cycles of Terry Pratchett's Discworld. I know it has been linked by BoingBoing or MeFi or memepool or something, but I couldn't find it and Google isn't helping me, either way - all I find are text files. Anyone know what I am talking about and where to get it?
