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.

Considering that I'm not some punk little kid anymore, and I actually have seen a real live women nude, I haven't paid much attention to Maxim for forever and a day. This article was amusing - not 4000 votes on Digg funny - but amusing enough to share.

Maxim, eh? Is this the issue where they finally review Gears of War 2? Did it get 4 1/2 or 5 stars?

I believe it got 9 out of 10 Beirut (Beer Pong) cups in that issue.

Awww, I was expecting currencies for MMO games that have a real, unofficial conversion rate with the dollar. Kinda lame.

Looks like you've got an article to write then, Jack!
