Fortune 500
AT&T using Drupal
AT&T, the largest provider of local long distance telephone services in the United States, is using Drupal on for an add-on site called AT&T Apps Beta.
The website requires you to log in so there isn't much to explore without creating an account. Either way, AT&T Apps Beta is a platform for connecting highly involved AT&T customers with access to the latest and greatest mobile applications.
Can you see a pattern here? Another large organization using Drupal to build an add-on site. Once an organization has its feet wet with Drupal after implementing a couple of micro- or add-on sites, you start to see Drupal bubble to the top of the organization or to larger and larger web properties. Either way, it is great to see one of the largest technology companies use Drupal. Another win!
Reuters using Drupal
Anyone who reads the news knows that Reuters is a major news agency; in fact, it is the world's largest international multimedia news agency.
It's also clear that Reuters is very interested in experimentation with "new media". They have established http://labs.reuters.com to package and highlight some of their technical innovations. Labs.reuters.com has an iPhone application, experimental social and community APIs, lots of semantic experimentation, and even a really neat "Face Search" application. The neatest thing, though, is that it runs on Drupal 6.
Let's think through this again. The world's largest international news agency uses Drupal to highlight the innovative features and applications they think they may want to deploy in the future. I don't know about you, but I like the way that sentence sounds.
Mattel using Drupal
Mattel, the world's largest toy company, just relaunched Mattel.com on Drupal. The site was built by Vancouver-based work [at] play. Mattel products include Barbie dolls, Hot Wheels, Matchbox cars, Masters of the Universe, and much more. For once, my kids and family will understand what I'm talking about. ;-)
Java.net using Drupal
With the help of Cognisync, Sun Microsystems converted Java.net, the website of the Java community, to Drupal. The previous version of java.net, was custom built by O'Reilly Media. Interesting choice for a site devoted to Java, but needless to say, a great testimonial to Drupal.
Sony Ericsson Using Drupal
Sony Ericsson's first Drupal web site was officially launched yesterday at the JavaOne conference. The site, called Sony Ericsson Labs, is a community website to shares application concepts with everyone who is interested in mobile applications and where new ideas can begin to take shape.
The site was designed and implemented by NodeOne in 462 hours with a team of five persons. Impressive!
Slate.fr using Drupal
While in France for the Drupal.org redesign code sprint in Paris, it was pointed out by a number of people that Slate.fr, the French version of the popular culture magazine Slate, is using Drupal. Slate is owned by the The Washington Post Company.
Virgin using Drupal
Virgin Radio is using Drupal for a number of websites. Example: http://www.virginradio999.com.
I'm excited by this because I'm a Richard Branson fan. There, I have said it. He is one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time. He proves that you can do well, do good, and have a great time doing it -- which is exactly how I like to run Drupal, Acquia and Mollom. I you haven't read his book yet, you should!
