corporate america, network companies, board members

 The Freebase blog posted a visualization of data about the network of american companies. This example displays the connection between companies based on shared board members. The data for the visualization is available and features:

• 60,000 people who are directors or high-level employees at public companies
• Headquarters and industry codes for 7000 companies
• The complete NAICS tree of industries, with mappings to companies
• Revenues and income amounts for 5000 companies, as of their latest 10-K filings
• Approximate market capitalizations for 5000 companies, as of the end of 2007

Very similar to “They Rule” , an interactive visualization created with Adobe Flash that is based on the same data.
