For some reason, on Friday my General Psychology prof gave us this rather silly assignment: Get the height in inches and shoe size of five males and five females. So who wants to be an anonymous subject?

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.

If you choose your words wisely.., you can convince a good portion of people to volunteer personal information.., or, close their own cell door.... Our generosity borders on foolishness....

This is but a tiny example of the peoples generosity.., especially, when compared to relinquishing countries....

Just a side view....
