UNI [SITE + MOTION] – THEY RULE

March 26th, 2009 | Richard Almond

This flash site allows users to explore the links between the 500 largest US companies through their directors, who often sit on the board of up to 7 of these organizations. The user can easily generate maps which explain these links, and can be dragged and manipulated to suit.

“They Rule allows you to create maps of the interlocking directories of the top companies in the US in 2004. The data was collected from their websites and SEC filings in early 2004, so it may not be completely accurate – companies merge and disappear and directors shift boards.”
