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 articles don't mention Yahoo Japan's auction service. IT does very well, perhaps even better than eBay in Japan.

    Could there be a 'cause'?

    Not in translations with what most North Americans use when they go Internet? Do hope so that Yahoo earns on the part of your continent!

      eBid.net welcomes Ex-Yahoo Auction members with a $99.00 gift
      With the imminent closure of the US and Canadian Yahoo auction sites (Last day to list items: June 3, 2007), US and Canadian users of Yahoo Auctions can import their feedback for free to eBid.net. Included in this special offer eBid.net will also allow ex-yahoo auction members to upgrade to a lifetime Platinum account membership worth $99.99 for absolutely nothing.

      Yahoo auction members should register at eBid.net and email a screen grab from their log in area of their yahoo auctions account showing their feedback page. Do not screen grab the public view of the feedback page.

      They can screen grab by pressing the PrtSc key on their keyboard to save a copy of their current screen to their clipboard and then paste into an email or into some photo software.

      This offer lasts until Yahoo closes its doors on June 3, 2007.

      Users should email the jpg/gif/png/bmp image to yahoo_offer@ebid.net along with their new eBid username.
