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 always wanted something like a Panther or Bobcat. They would be a good deterrent against burglars. Although most probably wouldn't take the "Beware Of Bobcat "sign seriously.

Lionfish are beautiful! I want a saltwater tank, but hubby says they're too much work :-( For now I'm stuck with his freshwater fish.

LV Mom: I worked at a Wal-Mart when "Finding Nemo" came out... I can't REMEMBER how many times I had to explain to people that the clownfish required a SALTWATER ENVIRONMENT!!! As far as I know they ALL ended up with goldfish and called it good!!! *GRIN*

Don't say the word "goldfish" in my house! That's enough to have my hubby mad for days. He's so picky about his fish he has them on a specialized diet (gag).

I wish I could have a raccoon... Living in Nebraska I had several relatives that found abandoned babies and had them fixed! The one I REALLY liked though was the day my sister came home and found that the raccoon had pulled ALL her houseplants off the shelves and WASHED them in it's waterdish!!!! She was a REAL WHINER about all the mud spread around her kitchen... he also didn't eat ALL the plants... just select PIECES of them!!! *GRIN*

The vet's around here won't do the surgeries on them OR skunks anymore due to the spread of rabies!!! :<

The same sister had a box turtle that LOVED anything RED (watermelon, strawberries, radishes... if it was RED he would EAT IT!!!)... Then one of my nieces showed up at her house with RED LEATHER SHOES on!!! *GRIN*
