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.

And the most censored stories are always about censorship. So censored they are not on these lists :)

No surprise about the AP list, if news services were beer AP would be Old Milwaukee N/A This awful brew contains corn syrup, sodium isoascorbate and potassium metabisulfite! Has a sickly sweet after taste much like a cola soft drink.

Or for non Drinkers AP decafe news, A GMO-soy Decafe Latte sweetened with Aspartame in a plastic cup

Fascinating seed. The one near and dearest to my heat is this:

#4 Hunger and Homelessness Increasing in the US

As much as I love this country and am grateful to have been born her, it make me crazy. How could we? How could we.

How could we and why? It isn't necessary but a function of the corporate welfare and Congressional corruption. It drives me crazy too. We need the public to become engaged in Government or this Nation for the People will be for the few who do it without the eyes of the rest keeping them honest.
