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.

Now this is what I want to see, much more than paying through the nose on iTunes for a whole season Is Disney getting smart? Are they staying ahead of the game? Yup.

I wonder what Jobs' take on this is, considering he now has a major stake in Disney. This is going to affect the view towards iTunes model of selling TV shows quite a bit.

Revamped? What site would be revamped?

This is already available at the iTunes Music Store (without the commercials). Does this mean that they would pull out from there?

I don't think I'd want to watch any of these shows with commercials.

    With commercials: free.
    Without commercials: $1.99 per episode.

    You can pay $50 for a season or sit through a few commercials. I'll take free, please.

      Sign me up! Why pay $2/ep just to be commercial free. I'll sit through some commercials if it saves me $2.
