They Rule aims to make some of the relationships of the elite of the US ruling class visible. It allows users to browse through the interlocking directories of some of the most powerful American companies (namely the board members of those companies). You can easily see the other corporate affiliations and political donations of that individual as well as find URLs with information on them or do a google search on them. If a user finds an interesting website about a company or director they can add it to a list of URLs relevant to that company or director. A user can save a map of connections complete with their annotations for others to view. Future users can then show approval for URLs and maps by submitting a vote. They Rule is a starting point for research about these powerful individuals and corporations.

Editor's Note: This is a really fascinating site with a clever use of technology. You almost have to use it to get it. Even if you're not interested in the subject, I recommend you check it out.

The Thinkers 50 2003 provides a completely new ranking, the definitive guide to which thinkers and ideas are in - and which have been consigned to business history. More than that, it offers a unique snapshot of the practices and personalities shaping the world of work and the way we do our jobs.
