Reading the author's comments:

Many people ask me what it means, or how to read it. People often think the bigger, more central names are an estimation of who their best friends are. I don't see this group like that. Instead, the big, central names are likely to be a good estimation of who you are. If I see a stranger's MindMap, and I know some of the people in the central core, the things I know about them probably describe the stranger pretty well, too.

So, from an external perspective, are those people representative of me? Because I sure wouldn't have picked some of those names.

I suspect they're just nodes of my particular social group :D Full map behind the cut.

That's quite cool. *steals* Though I'd be inclined to join you with the head tilt. I'm interested to see who gets put where for mine. *waiting for them to send the email*
