Question ID: 566969
I am looking for a flash animation that I saw several months ago. It
was basically a graph (like a link of several nodes) of almost every
important corporation in the
world and how their executives are interconnected. For example, when
you type "Microsoft" it gave you the option of showing all of its top
executives, and then when you click on one of them, it showed you what
other investments that person has in other important companies or if
it belongs to the corporate board of directors of a different
corporation. I do not need a list or anything like; I am looking
specifically for this animation, that was done in Flash, and the link
to it. I do not know the name of it, who did it or where it was
linked. I do not know how to search for it on google as I do not
recall any names linked to it. I just perfectly remember what it does.
Thank you!

I believe the website you remember is They Rule.

Here is the link to their website.
http://www.theyrule.net/

A Brief Explanation 

"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."

Search criteria:
I had bookmarked this website a while ago.

I hope this helps!

Best regards,
