Hmmm...finally got my LJ MindMap.

[valis2]

It purports to "[visualize] interrelationships within the LiveJournal community". After examining it, I think it's a visual interpretation of LJ cliques. Not sure, though.




MindMap

A-ha! No, I get it now! It's just a map. Seriously. It plots where everybody actually lives physically. No, wait, it does list their physical location, but...okay, I admit, I have absolutely no idea what the hell this is. It doesn't make a lot of sense because deepforestowl is listed towards the edge in teeny print, and she's one of the people I communicate with most frequently, while khames, with whom I have traded maybe three comments, is huge print and near the center.

Oh well. It was fun while it lasted. Or maybe it was just confusing.

ETA: gillieweed and scatteredlogic have figured it out...it's a visual LJ clique representation. It compares the flists of everyone on your flist, and those with the most people in common show up close to the center. Now it makes more sense!

It's weird, because I have 120+ people on the flist, and only 80+ showed up here. Huh.

And you and I have one person on the flist in common, so this is even more bizarre, you should have showed up...I have two people on the mindmap that I have no one in common with! Oh well, I guess nothing's perfect.

I think I've broken my brain, trying to figure it out. Maybe I just need more coffee. Yeah, that's it.

But I'm not surprised my julian_black username is on there while my snapes_patronus alias isn't.

Well, if it's cliques they're trying to illustrate, then I'd rather use the simple and easy clique meme, honestly. ;)
