This one actually is a flash site.

“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.”

In essence, a conspiracy tracker. Enjoy!

Man that is old and probably not too out of date.

2004? neat idea, terrible splash page and design. i DO like it when you open a recent map and there are a ton of companies, then, it looks cool.

That’s why they didn’t name it “we rule” 😉

I am not convinced it doesn’t work for me.

@Graphic Design Nottingham - you should toss that into Showcase & Critiques, it’s not bad.
