I don't know how limited it would be since it is a wiki and figure that manually changing data could be limiting as well instead of running off of databases of info. I guess its just more for visual representations and not workforce management. Does this handle data manipulation from HR systems like SAP or Peoplesoft?

Id like to build simple Org Charts and share them with a select group of individuals online (or within Basecamp, etc.). Thanks.

The idea of a collaborative chart of people in an organization is good, but what would be more useful in my opinion is one that one could have people create organizational charts for, well, anything.

Well what I mean to say is it might not be as widely used as wikipedia and I could just start a chart for my present employer with CEO as my name ;) Though the service and the idea sound great, I’m a bit sceptic about the usage and the accuracy of charts.

If it could get to critical scale, it could be a nice adjunct to Jigsaw etc. with a real ability to charge . . . but this is more complex than earning points in Jigsaw by just 'giving up' contact info . . . not sure it can scale as simply as Jigaw-Spoke-etc, unfortunately, b/c if it does it will be tremendous Very slick.

there is another one for biotech that i can turn you on to, much more current: go to recap.com, and look at ‘power brokers of biotech’ - similar idea, but more interesting to see how drug companies develop and share thought leadership…

The bottom line is that ALL companies are grouped together. What was nice was this Website (unknown? please help!) had everything mapped out. It would be nice to see this functionality recreated.
