LucidChart was always designed to be the very easiest diagramming tool imaginable, and I’m glad you found it that way :-)

This is really cool. I think this kind of social-network analysis is a new frontier for journalists. I tried to use a program called UciNet a few years ago for this kind of thing — plotting the relationships between political figures in Tennessee, when I worked there — but I never could get it to work well. But the lady who is the training director for IRE did some whiz-bang stuff with it that she displayed at the IRE conference and, I think, wrote her master’s thesis on the use of social-network analysis for journalists. I’ve been fooling for about a year now with a program called Analysts Notebook, too, that’s really cool but awfully expensive.
