THEY RULE

So one of my professors showed this to me during the semester and I was so excited about it I almost came out of my "break" from blogging to post it.....but I didn't. SO I just rememebered it yesterday and finally got some time to blog it! Its a web site called "They Rule."

overview: (from their website) "They Rule aims to provide a glimpse of some of the relationships of the US ruling class. It takes as its focus the boards of some of the most powerful U.S. companies, which share many of the same directors. Some individuals sit on 5, 6 or 7 of the top 500 companies. It allows users to browse through these interlocking directories and run searches on the boards and companies. A user can save a map of connections complete with their annotations and email links to these maps to others. They Rule is a starting point for research about these powerful individuals and corporations." For more info

Its super fun to play with the map and there are alot of interesting saved maps you can look up and discover some very interesting connections....
