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.

A true gentleman even in the end. He is sorely missed in the entertainment venues, and always will be. A star amoung stars.

Not only was he a great actor, and good looking too, he had an amazingly strong relationship with his wife (take a cue, Brad Pitt), and on top of it, donated a lot to charities. Seems like the perfect man to me!

Paul was truly a great guy and an accomplished racer. I had the rare opportunity to meet him at his Trans Am race team site in the paddock at Watkins Glen NY. It appeared to me that he was totally himself in the racecar arena away from the moviestar atmosphere. He was one of the guys and enjoyed every minute of it.

A couple years later, I ran into him again at New Hampshire Speedway. He was an Indy race team owner at that time. He was the same regular guy then, eager to talk racing, full of a relaxed wit and a genuine pleasure to speak with. A wonderful man doing exactly what he wanted which was driving race cars and hanging out at the track.

I am looking forward to the race car auction details. Can't afford to buy one but would love to be there.

I'm in agreement with everyone--he was one classy guy, unlike a lot of today's Hollywood crowd. However, this is news that he left everything to his wife????

Met him in Winchester, VA carrying a six pack of "Coors Light" I said wow he's shorter than what I thought I'm 5'7" but looked into his eyes just like Richard Burton and said this is a giant among men.
