Tracking the Entire World

What is NNDB? NNDB is an intelligence aggregator that tracks the activities of people we have determined to be noteworthy, both living and dead. Superficially, it seems much like a "Who's Who" where a noted person's curriculum vitae is available (the usual information such as date of birth, a biography, and other essential facts.) But it mostly exists to document the connections between people, many of which are not always obvious. A person's otherwise inexplicable behavior is often understood by examining the crowd that person has been associating with. For example, wonder why Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott tells his employees that if Obama is elected they will lose jobs? See why... http://www.nndb.com/people/469/000045334/
