Drupal sites
South African Government using Drupal
The South African Government is using Drupal for their official 2010 FIFA World Cup website at http://www.sa2010.gov.za. With the start of the 2010 World Cup just hours away, this is a timely discovery and a nice win for Drupal. The site was built by eConsultant. (Hat tip: Usamah)
Christina Aguilera using Drupal
Christina Aguilera just relaunched her website using Drupal: http://www.christinaaguilera.com/. The site is developed by Sony Music, and is one of the better looking Drupal sites that I have seen Sony Music launch. No pun intended! Welcome to the family, Christina!
U.S. Department of Commerce using Drupal
The United States Department of Commerce just relaunched their website on Drupal. Check out their new website at http://commerce.gov.
According to Wikipedia, the Department of Commerce has more than 140,000 employees, and an annual budget of $14 billion USD. Needless to say this is another great win for Drupal, and for Open Source in government!
It is great to see them take advantage of Drupal's social capabilities like blogging and commenting, as well as to see integration with social media like Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. It all helps provide greater transparency.
Forrester Research using Drupal
Forrester Research, one of the most prestigious analyst and market research firms, is using Drupal for their corporate blogs. Flattered!
Via Rail using Drupal
Via Rail, a large train operator in Canada, is now using Drupal for its main website. They carry approximately four million passengers annually so like with any train operator, their website is obviously key to their business.
Look.co.uk switches to Drupal; traffic doubles within months
Last week I met with IPC Media in London. With magazines like Nuts, NME, Marie Claire, Country Life and many more, IPC Media is one of the UK's leading publishers.
IPC Media recently converted Look.co.uk from a bespoke ColdFusion platform to Drupal to reduce the site's maintenance cost. When I met with the team, they were very pleased with the fact that it only took a couple of months to redesign the site with Drupal and to migrate all the existing content. But best of all, thanks to Drupal's SEO (Search Engine Optimization), traffic doubled since the site was relaunched in early January. A great example of how you can use Drupal to maximize the power of your website!
Update: two IPC Media employees respond in the comments and provide some extra color; Peter Brady (lead developer look.co.uk) and Anthony Thornton (project manager look.co.uk).
Mensa using Drupal
More proof that Drupal is for smart people: Mensa is using it for their main website.
