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.

...anyone who owns more than one computer or Smartphone is already familiar with the dread of having out-of-sync data. It's also great to know that the very latest versions of your life's most important databases (mail, appointments, address book) are always backed up in a place that's safe from fire, flood or thieves.
Put another way, you might really enjoy having your head in the cloud.

Possession of this info seems shady. Could the hosts eventually claim some right to the information that they store? Could the public...since the info is in the Cloud? Is the Cloud public space?
