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.

This is an interesting partnership. I had previously thought that eBay were anti Google, given that Google has recently released Gbuy and also has Google Talk which is a competetior to Skpe. It would be interesting to see the exact details behind this deal and just what it does mean for eBay.

Maybe eBay will become a Google company?

I find this very interesting due to eBay's ban of Google Checkout from the list of accepted payment methods.

In my experience in the Internet space it has always been common for Internet and technology companies that are competitors to do business with each other 'co-op-itition'. In this case they've got a good fit and the combination make for a formidable offering.

I personally think Google has no or little intention of any form of deeper relationship such as buy or merger. Rather this is probably a move to maximize potential and learn from each other. I feel Google is the winner here and has more to gain from this cooperation in the long run.
