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 English FA have shot themselves in the foot big-time with this proposal. It's has been met with serious disapproval, anger, and calls for key members of the FA to stand down. It didn't take them long to screw up the adulation they received after hiring Fabio Capello (after they botched up the last manager) and it really makes me think about the overall state of the game here.
