What's this?
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.

big pet peave of mine, how inconsistent the web experience can be.
2 am visiting the relatives, surfing the net in quiet bliss and suddenly "CONGRATULATIONS YOU JUST WON A CHANCE AT A FREE IPOD" screams out of the computer.

I hear it from time to time on podcast, see it on tv.. it can be embarrassing or plain just annoying.. heck browsing my space desperately trying to locate someones media player to shut off that noise.. well this little extension has quickly found a place in my heart. I love seeing the little "play" icon at 3am, knowing i just missed being annoying to anyone sleeping.
