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.

More than a quarter of employers have sent an employee packing for email-related offenses, according to the American Management Association/ePolicy Institute survey, and 62 percent of those said it was for inappropriate or offensive language. When you write, just assume that someone inside the company is reading it. Most of the 43 percent of companies that monitor email do it automatically, but 40 percent have live human beings reading and reviewing it.
