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.

'Change" was a phrase meant to get him elected. It has nothing to do with how he will govern. Like all politicians, he said what was needed to win. Campaign promises are just words; there is little promise to be found in those words.

Cynical, yes. But then I have been watching since Carter beat Ford.

Sad to see it. If you look at Obama-Biden's president-elect website there's a whole list of the things they claim they will do, the things we were all hoping they would do. But starting off by choosing these insiders and moderates (at best) for their advisors and officials is obviously not an encouraging sign.
