TV journalists in Italy have yet to devote any time to a website that is proving extremely popular – Mappa del potere

This nifty flash driven site allows you to choose any of the Milan quoted stock exchange companies, to display their directors, and to see where they hold positions in other listed companies. It’s a clever use of technology and information to create something informative, useful, and fun.
