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.

Now that's progress and look, it's only taken them the better part of a century to get this far!

Really it's astonishing to think that WWI was nearly a century ago.

    It's astonishing that so many people don't remember why Veterans Day is the 11th of November. World War I decimated a generation and stands as a turning point in world history. Not only should we take a moment today to remember Veterans and servicepersons, we should ponder the significance of the First World War.
