Red = me
Green = people I met in high school
Orange = people I met in college
Purple = people I met in grad. school
Blue = people I met everywhere else
Fun fact: I have 2nd tier contacts who are friends, even though the 1st tier contacts have never met, and have probably never been within 500 miles of eachother. I guess that's the beauty of Friendster.
If you'd like to make your own Friendster map, you'll find the tools and a brief explanation on this page. So that you have an idea of how to add formatting (like color), the neato file I used to generate the graph is here, and the relevant documentation is here.
PS - I'm fascinated by social mapping, so if anyone else makes one of these, I'd love to see it.

But it's also because you rock out with your lox out.
jacob, next time you're in my neck of the woods remind me to show you the incest chart we made once of who-all made out in high school. it's mighty complex. also, icky.
