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.

Heh, what is the future going to be like for our kids?
Teacher: It's time for your spelling test. Leet speak and net shorthand is o.k., so you should all pwn this @!$%#!1! Ok, number one, spell "ownage." Extra credit if you can use it in a sentence.
What's next? "Open Google Tests" instead of "Open Book Tests?" I fear our kids are going to be SO lazy.

Our kids will be lazy if we let the government raise them.

Good. At least we won't be alone in the stupid department as far as kids and education goes.

I find it rather interesting. What is the main purpose for a written language? Basically to communicate in a common way so that those you are addressing can understand you. It really does not matter in what form you write it so long as the recipient understands it. I am a drafter and we abbreviate things all the time and these are on drawings that things will actually built from. Most people would have no clue what a '3050 ALSL TEMP.' is or what the note '2X4 @48" O.C.' means, or one of my favorites '#14 STSMS @ 16" O.C.' But thank goodness the contractor can read it, so things are built right. I think that probably goes for just about any profession. In our jobs and everyday life we end up creating our own special language to fit our specific needs. I guess you can look at it as "stream lining" the communication in each respective field. Txt speak is just another step in the ever changing world of language. Plus imagine all the time, key strokes, and bits that are saved by typing 'lol' instead of 'laugh out loud'. 3 key strokes instead of 14! Sounds good to me. It will be very interesting to see where all this leads.
