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.

There have been rumours of this for some time now (in the past they were always denied-- by both sides).

I came across all the comments in the other column where you have also contributed. As the the world becomes more and more media savvy day by day, the news will greatly influence the minds of the common citizens of both the countries. Denial at this stage will be much more difficult. Again there is the involvement of another sovereign country to be one witness. What you think Mr. krishna?

Well, for one thing-- Israel is a democracy--the government must take into account the views of ordinary citizens. In the case of Syria, however-- it is a dictatorship-- the views of the average citizen do not count.

I wonder whether we'll witness a rift between Syria and Tehran.
