1. Michael, thanks for this list. Helpful in convincing clients that WordPress is a good platform for a business blog, rather than TypePad.

2. @Michael: No problem! And that’s a very good use of this list.

   I think the reason big companies and big clients look down on WordPress is because it’s free and open source.

3. Blogs from the French newspaper Le Monde use WordPress Mu. Here in Brazil, blogs from G1, made by the biggest Brazilian medium company, also use Mu.

4. Don’t forget Matt’s monster list of famous WP blogs.

5. @Thassius: Sweet. I might start using it! Not sure if it’s worth it though.

   @Darren: Oh wow, that’s a huge list! Very nice, thanks for sharing.

6. Great list here. Definitely is some great leverage when discussing the CMS of choice with clients. Thanks for the list and also, thanks Darren for the link. Both pages are bookmarked for future client reference.

    It may be awhile before I can contribute meaningfully to the site.

18. @Michael Castilla: I tried to use Mu, but couldn’t put up with it. I prefer to have a lot of different WP installations rather than just one that doesn’t work as good as expected.

19. I am pretty sure that at one time, http://www.woot.com .. its woot blog was using WP, because I remember peeking at the source code. But now I’m not sure they haven’t switched to something else.

27. What I really find interesting is the non-blogs that are being powered by wordpress. The most interesting in my opinion are the flash sites that use wordpress to pass data flash either with php or through rss. Using wordpress in this manner can be a really economical way to develop Flash advanced flash websites without needed to develop a back end system as well.

28. few seconds on WordPress Modder I found a very useful tutorail for adding an Amazon Associates Store to a WordPress blog which I will put to use immediately on a couple

30. Those are some nice blog links. I must say that the New York Times ones are my favourite. It seems as if everyone is in the blogosphere now and that is a great thing.

31. Great post …thank you for providing the list

32. I had a hell of time convincing our consultant that anything that’s not PAID FOR could possibly be any good for a serious, corporate blog. I never realize how stuck some IT guys are in the open source world.

33. thanks

34. Thanks for the impressive list. Maybe this’ll prove to the rest of corporate America that open source is the way to go… but there’s still a long way we can come on that.

35. thank

36. Thanx 4 the list. I love WordPress and using it for all my blogs 🙂

37. Isn’t this just why we hate paypal!
    They know there’s a prioblem – their problem
    They hide it for 24 hours
    For 2 days e-commerce sites are being made to look like scammers.
    Finally they half admit it.

Examples of applications include: antireflection films for lenses and similar products, laser light filters, mirrors, liquid crystal display panels, architectural glasses, etc. The “sources” of these thin films are Evaporation Materials, which are manufactured in many types, sizes and shapes to meet various needs.

Accordingly, Evaporation Materials also are expected to be of higher quality and function. every supplier making every effort to offer the highest quality Evaporation Materials that are suited to various methods for thin film manufacturing by leveraging its sophisticated technologies developed through its own R & D.

43. I was told by some other developers that wordpress was a useless platform to use and no one of any important relied on it. They had no recommendations by the way which i find interesting. Helpful to show that big boys are indeed using it. Why wouldn’t they, its great!
