Default Who Rules?

i found this site via an Information Illustration class and found it useful and interesting.

http://www.theyrule.net/2004/tr2.php

This is a Flash based site and you can search Companies/People and who runs what and how they connect including government and corporate bodies.

The most interesting i found was The 'Load Map' option and under ' Popular' it lists different topics such as 'Don't give me that Apple is Independant Crap' , 'Ten Richest People', 'The Wonderful World of Disney' and my favorite 'Let's Get Drunk and Screw in Public' (Annheuser Busch and its affiliates).

there's one graph that examines the ties of all the people that sit on 5 or more boards. The Microsoft one vs Apple is interesting in this aspect.

Maybe you should forward this to Bush as a kinda handy quick reference. Could head off a lot of trouble in the future. Unless he leaves it in his spare pants.

Didn't intend to fuck it up. This was the one time I'll post in here all year so don't worry, won't happen again. I know I'm not worthy of the politics forum and I stay out.
