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.

So my question for the Newsvine Community: would you participate in the running of the bulls, knowing the risks that are there? I for one am just foolhardy enough that I think I'd do it! But my wife would make me pay afterwards....

There are lots of risks in life. Driving in rush hour traffic is pretty darn risky. If the cell-phone chatters don't get you, some gun-toting road-rager might.

Running with the bulls seems kinda tame next to some of the daily risks we tolerate. :)

Oh, and to answer the question...I might have run with the bulls before I had kids.

Me too, now that I think of it. They do kind of rely on you....
