I had earlier worked upon a project that very closely mimicked a social network. Alas, I had no experience with databases then and we set forth to build the project on a relational database. I have since been trying to learn more about graph databases and how they are used by the various "web 2.0" companies. I came across this excellent introductory presentation on Graph Databases on highscalability.com.

Have you tried using Neo4j or any other graph database on your old data? I'm keen on knowing if it scales well.
Hey Sumukh!
I don't have war stories of using graph databases, but I do believe that they scale well upto vertices and edges in the order of billions.
Incidentally, the google research blog had a related post today: Large scale graph computing.
Cool! thanks :)

The PhD is an advanced academic degree and applies to a wide variety of disciplines in the sciences and humanities. The PhD is usually a requirement for a career in research or as a university lecturer. A Master’s degree is typically a requirement for admission to a PhD program although some countries enter students immediately after a Bachelor's degree.
