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.

Pretty cool. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does in the role!

How refreshing to see someone who doesn't want to b!tch about the chap. I'm already fed up of all the negativity surrounding the choice of actor which is all totally unfair before he's had a chance to show us his take on the character.

Personally, I like his chances. He seems to have a bit of natural eccentricity and I thought he was very good in the roles I've seen him in previously.

Folks can and will complain about everything. I have one friend who still can't accept Tennant in the role because she thought Eccleston was better. Even though Eccleston only did one season of the show, she still can't let it go and enjoy Tennant in the role. I can't wait to hear what she says about Matt Smith.

Now I wasn't so keen on Ecclestone, I think Tennant far more suited to the role. Though my Doctor will always be Peter Davison, as the one I first remember watching.

Peter Davison wasn't my first Doctor (Tom Baker was) but I always felt Davison was the best in the role. I also like Jon Pertwee, David Tennant, and Tom Baker.

Tom Baker was my favorite, until Tennant came along. Eccleston runs high on the list too, I wish he'd had another season or two.

We'll see... I can't imagine the folks behind the camera choosing somebody who'll completely fall flat as Dr. Who, not with the upswing the last two have given it. Though Tennant will be leaving a BIG pair of shoes to fill.
