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.

That's pretty sad...

As an American, I used to watch the show when it was on BBC America. I enjoyed it. I thought there were rumors that an American Version of this show was being created by Lou Perlman (aka... *NSync's Former Manager).

    One of the reasons the BBC gave is that they were struggling to compete with the 24 hour music channels... What they really meant is that TOTP is @!$%#e, and nobody likes it.

    I mean, how is it that Jools Holland manages to compete with these '24 hour music channels' on BBC 2, and TOTP can't? Maybe because Jools Holland is good, and TOTP isn't worth watching.
