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.

I'm all for transparency but this is ridiculous - I wouldn't like to see my financial details published on the web. This is one area where free speech impacts on the right to privacy. I'm not surprised the placed Swedes are revolting.

This would never fly in America. I suppose that in Scandinavia there isn't that iconic belief in such a sacred right to privacy.
Its still very troubling...is there no ceiling on internet freedom?

cdparker: We DO believe in privacy, which is why we're revolting, which is what this article is about.

The site has some 610,000 registered users — in a country of 9 million — and handled an average of 50,000 online credit checks a day.
These are far from unique registered users. In the beginning people created an user account and when their free credits was depleated they just created another account. And then another...
I believe services like these are OK as long as the person who is being investigated will get notified about it. Why shouldn't people in Sweden be able to use the same service on the net that is being offered on the "ground" so to say.

I understand the privacy aspect however I think the greater good is served by unfettered access to information. The only problem I see in how it used to be was the anonymity of the requests. It should be just as transparent who asked for what as it is to get the information in the first place. It would take some major adjusting though to get used to the idea, and to develop positive identification measures/systems that aren't reliant on personal financial information.

If you really want to know, the right amount of money, in the right hands, will get you the information, and I would bet on that almost anywhere on earth.

If we could use the system for Congressional spending we'd be in business.
