Sony using Drupal
Sony is using Drupal for Musicbox, a site where you can watch all videos in Sony's video library. The site was built by Lullabot: details are available in Lullabot's 29th Drupal podcast.
Musicbox is a community site by Sony Music where you can watch and rate and review the music videos of all Sony artists.
Don't get me wrong, I think it is great that a "Big Company" uses Drupal as a base for their website and congrats to Lullabot for making the stuff under the hood.
But please, I have seen all the beta signs, wet floor effects, rounded corners, gradients and other "look-this-is-2.0" elements I can handle.
In other words, if Sony is using the cosmetic side of "Web 2.0", you *know* it's not hip.

January 9, 2007 - 14:13Wow, Drupal can even do a big site. I'm still learning how to customize. :)
