Organization browser in SharePoint 2010

very cool thing in SharePoint 2010 is the organization browser showing everyone in your organization in a very nice silver light control.

SharePoint 2010 comes with a feature called the ‘Organization Browser’ to display org chart style information. By default the web part is located on every user’s ‘My Profile’ tab on their MySite, but it can be added to other pages if required.
