On digital experiences, Open Source, startups & the future
Truth be told, between trips to Yahoo! including last year's Drupal conference, which they hosted, we already knew that Yahoo! is a major Drupal user. However, what is new is that they are starting to launch more and more external facing Drupal sites. Once such example is Yahoo! Research; check it out at http://research.yahoo.com.
Now if only we could get them to pay Rasmus to work on Drupal core a bit. ;-)
That's great and the site looks quite nice. A talk by Rasmus in which he also mentions Drupal can be found here:

Rasmus also mentioned Drupal as a guest on TWiT's FLOSS Weekly back in August. See http://twit.tv/floss12.
Wow! Can't believe that Yahoo uses Drupal as well. :-)
Indeed Yahoo Research looks incredible. Great job by Rasmus!
Kudos!
Y! (as well as the companies they bought) have been using Drupal for a long term, although in a very un-drupal-ish way; see boxesandarrows.
