The site allows you to build maps of various interconnections between corporations, think tanks, government, etc. I haven't played with it much yet, but it looks pretty neat.

    I've been playing with this site (it's pretty addictive), and this is the first chart I've made with some semblance of order. (I ain't sayin' it's pretty... just that it's got some semblance of order)

    Four degrees to Halliburton:

    I'm gonna try to make it six degrees, but I may run out of space.

      cool map, can i ask a couple of newb questions?

      1) How easy was it to determine the names of corporate key spokesmen? did you have to go to each website or does the map app provide it for you?

      2) Didn't have time to look at the app closer in details; can you add and embellish other people's existing maps. i.e. me edit yours, just curious?

      3) the side which got my eyebrows raised is the gillette one, as the map does not expand there to show all the sister corps who fall under the proctor and gamble umbrella parent group (the guys who test on animals for domestic products and score profits and support for their exploitations and expanded test labs in the UK, cambridge via the sales of these product lines: www.uncaged.co.uk/pgproducts.html

      Since i found out about them, my life has not been the same, a can of worms, as i open my eyes more n more. Can't decide if should thank or hate them................gee, let me think!

      4) cheerz for the map link, can see why it'd be addictive, as for semblance of order - good job so far, defos.
