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 absolutely hate the Wiggles. My kids, however, love them, and will be sad to see Greg go.

I've never heard of them, but all my kids are grown. I doubt that their anymore annoying then the Power Rangers, or Tickle-Me-Elmo.

My kids are also grown, and never experienced the Wiggles. But I used to leave the TV on for my cats and the Wiggles would be on when I got home from work (night shift). My cats didn't like them and neither did I. I gave them a chance. But their overacting, phony enthusiasm, and that stupid little car made me want to hurt them.

Is that wrong?

    I like them. The music is pretty good and much better than a lot of sappy insipid music on kid's shows.

    overacting, phony enthusiasm, and that stupid little car

    What do you expect? It's for kids.

      I was just playing. I don't really want to hurt them. Oh, maybe scare them a little.

      My kids will be so very sad. They love the Wiggles.

        You mean the dreaded Purple Wiggle? He's serving a dime in Rikers...

          Now if only the Doodlebops would get sick and stop my house would be a little bit saner (and quieter)

          Oh God! I'd put up with the Wiggles all day long if only those Doodlebops disappeared!
