Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Why is it anyone's business? Lots of people [& even real businessmen] buy south american properties. And look at the source of the rumors: Cuba who is buds with Venezuela who is buds with Iran...get it?

Why haven't I seen anything really important on Newsvine about Why gas / diesel prices haven't dropped the same measure as has the price of a barrel of oil? Why haven't I seen anything on Newsvine about certain OPEC countries trying to destroy the US? You know, like, important stuff.

Certain OPEC countries are trying to destroy us? Really? By, um, charging a fair price for a limited commodity that we're addicted to and are making no effort to wean ourselves from?

Put down the gun and step away from Fox news.
