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.

The official promotion runs through June 30, and requires a two-year contract and the high end data plan.

"In the U.S., Apple's supply of iPhones continues to be limited, but European carriers appear to be overstocked," analyst Gene Munster wrote in a note to clients. "These data points lead us to believe Apple will launch a new iPhone in the U.S. in June at the latest, with a European launch shortly thereafter."

Man I sure hope my new German buddies did not see this....I was in the Apple store (ALL YOUR FAULT !) buying OmniGraffle Pro and a few other "toys" and between 7 Germans, they bought 20 iPhones.....

But as we all now know, Apple has been condemned for destroying earth....I still like my Mac...

Ha, you'll enjoy it. When I get some excess cash I think I am going to upgrade to the latest version. It has some nice new features and most importantly, it's universal. Running OmniGraffle in Rosetta blows.
