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.

Seems like a slightly older interview, as they have six staff members, with the sixth and latest being Tom. Great to see that Newsvine is still getting acclaim for the wonder that it is, another cheers to TeamVine ~*

Congrats to Newsvine - the crew here really deserves kudos. Not only have they put together an amazing site, but they've managed to do a phenomenal job marketing and promoting it to the appropriate audience.

As for the interview - it was done about 2-3 weeks before the awards launched.

I like Mike's comment of

. We've tried to distance Newsvine from the term "Web 2.0" from the outset because we saw very early on how misunderstood the term was. We aren't positioning ourselves as any sort of company. We are a news company.

Ironically, they win a Web 2.0 award within a month of being public. Granted, I'm not sure how reputable the company is to be distributing the awards, but still, that's got to count for something.

Yay! Go Newsvine! I'm happy for you guys... and for us. We're helping them build this community.... and we beat the evil diggers!!! (hehe... I'm one of them too) This so cool, no other Web 2.0 community deserved the award more than Newsvine.

its really nice to see Newsvine won... CONGRATS!!!

I personally feel that the first position should have been shared between newsvine and digg.. because both of them are exceptional in their own way!!
