TheyRule: applying information design to corporate directorships

TheyRule is a brilliant Flash app that allows you to interactively explore and map the interlocking directorships of the most powerful corporations in the world. They've just relaunched a 2004 edition with currect data.

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.
