Neo4j is awesome if your data model and queries need what graphs are good at as well as trees. Social networks are just the tip of the iceberg. It excels at navigation apps and recommendation engines or fraud pattern detections.

I use it for computer network element configurations and impact analysis. Replicating the network makes identifying common points of failure and bottlenecks easy or planning impacts of network changes.
