TL;DR What to do with the data gained from this project?

you may already know about the project if you saw the lightning talk.
anyway, it's about analyzing a large web crawl performed by
https://commoncrawl.org. i'm searching it for email addresses and link the
ones i found to the urls where they were found. This way i'm building a
huge graph. i guess you could also call it a (strange) social network.

you might wonder how such a graph looks like. the following graph (red
nodes are email addresses, blue are urls) was rendered by specifying a
starting email adresses and traversing the graph for 5 hops:

Now the big question: What should i do with that kind of data (and what
not)?

greets,
amir
