24 of 30 - Meme Review

[aggienaut]

   Theres a "meme" floating around that tells one what lj "cliques" they're in; basically which groups on their friends list all have eachother listed as friends. The idea is interesting, but its written rather badly in certain ways.
   Most suprisingly, instead of using the familiar [lj user=emosnail] type coding, it uses the much longer route of linking to the images livejournal uses for the same purpose and linking to the info page and livejournal.

   The most critical problem in the function of the meme is that if in a large group of people two happen not to link to eachother as friends, it creates two completely seperate "cliques." For example here is what it tells me:

I am a member of 3 cliques of size 7

• emosnail, basicallyasap, slosha, nessabfly, badbree, ilivewith8boobs, colleeniebeenie


• emosnail, basicallyasap, nessabfly, badbree, ilivewith8boobs, colleeniebeenie, pavelthegeek


• emosnail, citizene, simplistic_me, suziej, jegskaltisse, sandwiches, soccermomxcore

Find the largest clique containing:

(Enter your livejournal username here).

   What this actually means is that I'm part of a group consisting of emosnail, basicallyasap, nessabfly, badbree, ilivewith8boobs, and colleeniebeenie, with pavelthegeek, and slosha as slightly less connected members (they're only not connected to eachother actually)(this is basically the group of people I've met through Kristy). I am also apparently a part of a group of UC Davis hardcore kids consisting of emosnail, citizene, simplistic_me, suziej, jegskaltisse, sandwiches, and soccermomxcore.
   I'd imagine I'm part of other smaller interconnected groups, but the thing only displays these three. If anyone knows of a similar meme that does all this better I'd be interested in hearing about it.
