> The current issue of the "Industry Standard - the magazine of the
> internet economy" [Jan 24, 2000] has an interesting article on the key
> players in the internet industry -- "The Web's Gatekeepers".  In the
> print version [page 204] they show the partial ego-networks of the 4
> 'gatekeetpers': AOL-TW, AT&T, Microsoft, Yahoo.  The ego-networks reveal
> some of the strategic alliances these 4 companies have formed.
>
> I combined the 4 ego nets and added other recent alliance data to create
> an internet industry network of some 50+ players.  The network is
> displayed in an interactive Java applet. The URL is
> http://www.orgnet.com/netindustry.html   A link to the on-line version
> of the Industry Standard article [no ego-net visuals] is also on that
> page.
