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.

The move came after three years of protests by Farm Sanctuary, an animal-rights group that launched wolfgangpuckcruelty.org — relabeled Wolfgang Puck Victory as of Thursday — and organized a leafletting campaign outside Puck's restaurants.

Consumer activism drives change, nothing more. This is a dollars and cents move though I'm very happy to see anyone move to more sustainable practices and support of ethical treatment of animals. Now if only the White House would extend that to people we'd be in business.

Sometimes there is no explaining the United States.

American gastronomic squeamishness is a standing joke over here. If only Americans were as worried about how MUCH they ate.

There is a bright side to the issue, a win-win if you will. The less foie gras you eat, the more there is for the rest of us.

Copenhagen doesn't the animals well being come into it at all? As a chef I would have no problems eating any part of an animal, it's how that animal is treated before it dies that matters to me.
