A database based one is www.touchgraph.com. You may want to check also www.yworks.com, but both aren't free nor opensource. The only free and opensource software I know are GUESS and GraphViz, but they aren't that user-friendly (what a suprise!) To me the way ahead is something like this one, but with the possibility to define multiple relationship types for the same 2 subjects: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~jheer/vizster/vizster.wmv I hope it helps.

I haven´t found anything useful for this kind of target group. Me personally (being a half professional) still use Pajek, since it allows me to visualize relations almost simultanously. But still, it takes some commitment to discover the major functions of the software.
