As of today, Barack Obama will be at the center of the US government (yay!). If you want to have a good overview of how he is linked to all other governmental entities, I recommend this dynamic network visualization of the US Gov map.
It takes 5 seconds to load and it will allow you to click dynamically through the top of the government of the United States. On top of the screen are a couple of small buttons: [Org] will give you the names of the organizations, and [Per] will let you see each living person! (and yes, Barack is in the middle).
The technology used is called OrgScope and it makes complex data (like a networked organization) more accessible.
Thanks for posting this, Bas. And for the video below. A great great day.
