They Rule

Another beautiful example of information visualization and ingenious user interface design. Clean, minimal, and efficient interface of theyrule.net is an impressive work both content and technology wise. Information is being presented very effectively.
They Rule aims to provide information on the relationships of the US corporate board members. You can select any two companies and the application will graphically find a link between these two companies through the board members who usually work for many companies at once. You can click on an individual and initiate a search on a search engine of your choice. You can annotate a map by adding notes, save, load and email maps.
