What do you mean more central to users? Is this accomplished by follower count?

[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrality#Betweenness_centrality]This should help explain[/url]. [quote]Betweenness is a centrality measure of a vertex within a graph (there is also edge betweenness, which is not discussed here). [b]Betweenness centrality quantifies the number of times a node acts as a bridge along the shortest path between two other nodes[/b]. It was introduced as a measure for quantifying the control of a human on the communication between other humans in a social network by Linton Freeman[17] In his conception, vertices that have a high probability to occur on a randomly chosen shortest path between two randomly chosen vertices have a high betweenness.[/quote]Nodes = users. In the picture the more blue the circle is, the greater its centrality to the network. Another way of looking at it is how well a given node connects to other nodes. For example, if you looked at a red node in the bottom right hand corner and counted the number of other nodes you would need to travel through to get to the opposite side, it's probably shorter to go through the centre where the blue nodes can more easily connect you to the other nodes than it would be to travel through all the red nodes around the outside.

For the picture I indicated centrality through the size of the node (the circle and username), so the larger the username = the more central. The physical position of each node doesn't really mean anything other than to separate out the bigger from smaller nodes and make it look pretty. But... the fact that you can even see your username given how many users there are in the graph (8,500+) means you're pretty central to it. You might find that surprising since you have less than 50 followers, but you're actually in the top 30 for most central users.
