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 1000 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.
Fascinating stuff. You can look up a person or a company and see the interlocking relationships in a visual map. You can make your own map or refer to a saved one.
The Bush administration map is at the top of the "most popular maps" list.
