FedEx using Drupal

Fedex
FedEx is using Drupal for their news website. Not bad because FedEx is ranked in the top 100 of the Fortune 500. Hat tip: Jeff Whatcott.

I would be interested to see what modules they have used and why they have made certain design/configuration decisions.

Looking at the source (specifically, the style sheets loaded), the modules used are:

  • CCK
  • Simplenews
  • Tagadelic
  • Location
  • Devel (?!)

A look at the code also spots the send module.

I guess there will also be others that are not as visible.

Is this a new site? I wonder because according to the CHANGELOG.txt the site is Drupal 4.7.6.

A more reliable test is http://news.van.fedex.com/user/password which shows yes, it is 4.7.* for sure.

I notice all the FedEx video are Flow Player, flowplayer.org - a big win for Open Media as well as Drupal. Obviously FedEx can afford an Adobe license, but they chose Open Source instead!
