Burma 'still hunting protesters'

advertisement

The Burmese government is still hinging for protesters who took part in the recent anti-government demonstrations.

According to a statement almost 3,000 people have been detained, 500 are still imprisioned. Those who were released were required to sign "pledges" but we don't know what was in those pledges.

More on the other side.

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.

I guess this shouldn't really be that surprising, but it is. I guess it shows us how short our attention span is for news.
