The interest for Social Network Analysis is growing.

I have some collected sources to share, here:

Robert Hanneman and Mark Riddle.  2005.  Introduction to social network methods.   
(free introductory textbook on social network analysis).  Read on-line as .htm http://faculty.ucr.edu/~hanneman/

 Very interesting article: 
A glossary of terms for navigating the field of social network analysis
Epidemiol Community Health 2004;58:971-975 doi:10.1136/jech.2003.014530
 Penelope Hawe, Cynthia Webster, Alan Shiell1 (2004)

From Tymoteusz Wołodźko, from LikedIn :

For visualization I like Gephi very much: https://gephi.org/

For analysis there is "classic" Pajek: http://vlado.fmf.uni-lj.si/pub/networks/pajek/ and many others, e.g. R's: sna and igraph packages.

As a good theoretic starting point I recommend three courses on Coursera: one with multiple "hands on" examples: "Social Network Analysis" by Lada Adamic (U Mich) https://www.coursera.org/course/sna good intro: "Networked Life" by Michael Kearns (U Penn) https://www.coursera.org/course/networks and if you're interested in maths behind sna: "Social and Economic Networks" by Matthew O. Jackson (Stanford) https://www.coursera.org/course/networksonline
