Mind Map

MindMap

Not that I have a terribly good sense of what this means, of course.

Lines! And pretty colors!

There's also something odd about people's alternate LJ's being in this, but not their main one! (Specifically noticing sickhippo)

Apparently, the maps you see when you go to the site and enter in your name are the maps which have been indexed in which you appear, and has nothing to do with what your map will look like when you order it!

Err.. OK

Sorta reminds me of the days I dropped acid..

How do you create one of these? Every time I follow the link and try to do "the obvious thing" it doesn't seem to work.

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

a) click the link. And wait.

Keep waiting.

Really. Eventually, it'll get somewhere. (This is why I like tabbed browsing!)

b) enter in your name. Click the button.

Wait again.

Something'll show up eventually. It _is_, however, not the same as what I ended up getting and posting. I don't know why it's different, but this version had two separate sections, and was pretty different overall.

c) If you want to get your actual map made and sent to you in email (which is how I ended up with the one I posted here), click "order [name]'s Mind Map". If you want it in color, though, you will need to donate (I did because the toy amuses me, and I'm color-obsessed). I don't think there is anything saying how much, at minimum, you have to donate, though.

Apparently, donating - even a dollar - speeds up how fast you get your map via email:

Might be why I got mine so quick. Along with a comment about it being large (sheesh, I hope some of the people who have a _truly_ large friends list never try to get one!).

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Funky. I'm not sure why nothing shows up for you, but I bet the 'order' button still will end up with something, albeit with no colors if you don't donate.

You can enter in my name to see what my original one looked like, though!

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Finally, I have new knowledge!

Apparently, the maps you see when you go to the site are the maps which he has indexed on the site which you appear in. _NOT_ what your map will look like if you get one.

Neat. :)

Weird! *pout* I feel left out.

I feel left out.

Methinks that if you had been kept in, it would have overwhelmed the algorithm, ye of many hundreds of friends! :)
