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.

I didn't realize this would be such a boost to Scranton. You can tell the show tries to be authentic, with the way they pronounce "Scranton" and the little things, such as the Froggy stickers. It's cool that they work with the city to get props for the show!

This is one the best shows on TV right now, right up there with 24 and LOST. I was so disappointed that the Olympics prevented them from airing new episodes. Even with my TiVo recording each episode, I still buy each one off the iTunes "Music" Store so I can watch them on the go on my iPod.

I have been waiting for the Office to return. It truly is one of the best shows on TV right now. While Steve Carrel is absolutely hilarious, the supporting cast and writers deserve equal credit. NBC took a chance on this show by renewing it and it has paid off big time.

I love the show! I think part of the success could be it put itself on iTunes to be downloaded and reached some people that might not have tuned in. I know I downloaded several episodes.
