Total Impact for Activity

[SmokyBob]

To avoid spikes on impact due to talks at large events, or videos reshared/hosted by Google Developers channel, the total_impact of an activity_record is calculated with the following formula

impact = 1 + math.log10(social_impact) + math.log10(meta_impact)

Where:

• 1: 1 impact point for the activity itself
• social_impact: the sum of +1s, comments and reshares of the activity (N.B. Auto Updated if the activity is tracked after sharing a post on Google + with the tags (#gde activity_type product_group), BUT editable if the activity is added manually (ex. a Tweet)
• meta_impact: the sum of the impact values manually specified in each of the activity_metadata associated to the activity_record

The impact has a different description for each Activity Group (Ex. N. of Views, N. of Downloads, N. of Attendees).

Please provide your thoughts on how the total_impact could be calculated to provide a meaningful value considering it should be used as a metric to compare the different activity_types.

Weird "Total Impact" value for me now in the top chart. It says 3.55 points, when a couple days ago it was 94.

@Mariuxtheone Fix should be up in a bit (added to commit to #179 that I forgot to merge and deploy)
