Having Mr. Waxman as the energy committee chairman should help tremendously with passing climate change legislation.

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.

To get your articles you post read by people, you need to do several things.

1. make sure to vote for your own article as well as posting the first comment. A lot of folks use the first comment box to post an additional segment from the original article by cutting and pasting it into the comment box so people can see more of the article.

2. the tracking system you see on the Newsvine doesn't start putting articles into that system until the article has 1 vote and 1 comment.

3. The other way articles get read is by posting them into groups that have interests connected to them. So for example this article on energy should get seeded it the alternative energy group (which I've done for you).

4. The last way to get articles read is to go out and look for people who have similar or disimilar interests and get them to make you a friend so your article shows up in their tracker. If they go look at your article, then it will show up in their friends tracking system.
