Google, Good Technology, Plaxo, & Zazzle Company Map

This is the Company Map for the combined network of the companies Google, Good Technology, Plaxo, and Zazzle. If you were to map the network for Google, you would find that it has connections to Good Technology, Plaxo, and Zazzle because of either common investors or common personnel. In order to take that network and expand it, you can map the combined network of multiple nodes - in this case, for those other related companies, in order to see what new connections appear because of the inclusion of the peripheral nodes of those other companies that would not be included in the network for Google alone.

This map has 4 Target Nodes - Google, Good Technology, Plaxo, and Zazzle, as is apparent due to the larger node sizes and thicker borders. Because so many nodes are present in the map, the non-Target nodes have been reduced in size automatically by LinkSViewer, but you can still hover the mouse over the node or click on the node in order to display its name and information.

There is only one red link in the entire network. Can you find it? There are several small clusters in this map with yellow and orange links all around the periphery of the network, but there are also many nodes located in the interior that connect the target nodes to one another. Some of these nodes have many links and serve as hubs between the Target Nodes (and others). Inspecting the Relational Map can inform you as to what investors and people in common are responsible for each of the clusters. This will help you understand the underlying structure of the network and decide if any of those relationships warrant further scrutiny.
