Zoho DB Launches, Beats Google Docs to the Punch

advertisement

When the big G creates a product that competes with yours - in this case, a suite of online office applications - how do you compete? You either a) whimper in the corner and give up, b) try to sell and cash in quickly or c) try to always been one step ahead.

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.
