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'm glad to see Balkenende resign.
And at the same time I think that more politicians in the world should be as humble as the Dutch ones. Now we saw Balkenende resign over a dispute over one secretary. A few years back the Kok government resigned over the Srebrenica massacre.

In contrast look at Schröder and Berlusconi. They even declined to step down after they clearly lost an election!

My 'tip to the hat' to the Dutch government!

PS: I'm a German living in the Netherlands. Civil servant of her majesty :-)
