cool.but it hasn't got much of a use

Thanks for the post, and the feedback. TheyRule is interesting as well, but if focuses more on political advocacy, and ours focuses more on relational capital geared toward the Silicon Valley investment community. This is who we think would get the most use from our site: those who work in that community (identify the names coming across your desk every day), service that community (search for leads and understand connections), or report about that community (see relationships that inform your analysis). Also, of course, it's great for people who are just curious :).
