I’m interested in what websites a specific web-site links to. Preferably in graphical format.

I’d like to be able to specify the degrees of separation, e.g. 1 degree of separation would only show direct links from the website to external sites. 2 degrees would show what they in turn link to.

Obviously for 2 or more degrees of separation you’ll end up with a kazillion links simply because most sites will link to twitter and facebook. I assume any sensible system would ignore these.

Is there a tool that can do this? Online? or an App?

Thanks, but that doesn’t map outlinks. I’m actually surprised I can’t find anything to do that. I could write something but surely this is a pretty common thing?
