SEO Expert Blog

Inspired by Dries Buytaert's regular announcements of new Drupal sites, I did some (re)search on which news sites, universities, organizations, companies, musicians, celebrities, communities, software projects, etc. are using Drupal for their websites. The result is the following list of sites, that impressed me somehow. Of course the list is far from complete, so feel free to post Drupal sites you like in the comments.

Bands, Musicians and Celebrities

• Avril Lavigne
• Jennifer Lopez | The Official Jennifer Lopez Site
• Britney Spears | Blackout Magazine - Britney.Com - Jive Records
• Tori Amos Home | The Official Tori Amos Site
• Grateful Dead | Official Site of the Grateful Dead
• Ozzy Osbourne Home | The Official Ozzy Osbourne Site
• Moby
• Crosby, Stills and Nash

The Web is one of the fastest changing media, but one aspect seems to remain unchanged: the Web is slow. Back when I started using the Web in the mid 90ies I either accessed the Internet from a computer in the university or from home with a 14K modem. It was a nuisance to download a page with more than 50KB.

Today, I use a DSL2000 connection to access the Internet, which is theoretically 140 times faster, but it still takes long to download many pages.

Today is Drupal day on SEO Expert Blog. For me almost every day is Drupal day, since I work as a software developer and all Web projects of the company I work for have been Drupal projects during the last seven months. Still I am not sick of Drupal and thanks to the Drupal community, many common problems have already been solved either by Drupal core developers or those who develop contributed modules, including myself ;-)

Today I noticed a new feature on MyBlogLog. Members can now tag communities. You can tag your own communities and all other communities too. The users who added a tag are displayed when you move the cursor over a tag.

This number was just announced on the Joomla website. This is amazing considering that development of the Joomla open source CMS started in September 2005. Okay it's a fork of Mambo but still the numbers are impressive. Wonder who the lucky user number 100000 is and if he or she wins a price.

Some more statistics from the post:

• An average of 172 new user sign-up each day
• 765,000 posts
• More than 1200 posts daily

Congratulations!
