They Rule -- Visualizing the Web of Our Corporate Rulers

Stumbled across this eyebrow raising site, they rule. The site allows you to explore the connections between top corporate officers, government boards, and other "important" decision making bodies. The interface is somewhat "old news"; however, the association that the interface allowed are anything but old news. I'm guessing that the visualization engine is java-based -- though it seems a little too fast.

After reading what I wrote above, I wondered if I should have even bothered giving you my "insight". And no, I did not cast that comment into the great sea of codependency hoping to catch a compliment. Rather, I was just reflecting at my use of the words "interface", "visualizations", "engines", and felt a slight hint of self-loathing.
