Useful Things: Notable

Notable, quotable, what are they up to? The Notable Names Database aggregates and tracks the activities of notable people.

While it's cool to track down what George Clooney has been up to, the best part (and main purpose) of the NNDB is to show the connections between notable people. The NNDB Mapper visually graphs the connections between people and events. Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon just got way more interesting.

Bonus Points for Phrasology. When connections are found they're considered "Possible Cohorts."
