I… - 8 Jun 2010, 16:13People here talk about her all the time. I got a moment of awe one time just by mentioning that she was part of your house. . .

MindMap shows complex friendship relationships using visual clues to describe whole communities of friends.
I always see two major groups when I look at my MindMap. One is "funny, nervous people". They're orange-red here, southwest of me. I call the other group "Euro-art anarchists". They're big, in yellow and green. Even though every MindMap I've made for myself is different, they all show these two groups. This is because everyone within these groups is a reader of everyone else. If you think about it, if five people all read each other, those five people have made 20 separate friendship decisions! Yet they probably didn't sit down one day and decide to friend each other. It happened over time, for its own myserious but undeniable reasons.
I have looked at thousands of MindMaps. With most browsers, you can hover your mouse over names to see where some people live. People who have their own MindMaps have brackets around their names, which you can click to see. Often I see core groups all living in the same city. If you think about it, people in your own city (or school) are most likely to meet each other, and share experiences. That makes sense. distantsun's MindMap even shows a Perth, Australia core, a London, England smaller core, and a cluster of other Europeans beyond that. It's practically a history lesson.
And this could all be hogwash. ;-)
