General discussion

I'm looking into using drupal for my own site and am interested in seeing how "the big boys" do drupal.

I am looking for the biggest, best, most popular, and most professional drupal based sites.

I'll start:

1. SpreadFirefox.com

Ali dela?

that permits users create their own links to their blogs.

I have a system in which each user has the posibility to have it´s own blog, and this can be a good posibility to add to their options.

Ty in advance.

Some ideas about turning Drupal into a distributed information system and to fade the borders between individual sites (going beyond RSS Syndication or Open Archives)

[Warning: The following links are just experiemental and not intended to ever provide services outside of the scope of current development. They are highly instable. Please also keep in mind that development has only just started.]

RSS Search:

Sample term" "Film"
Right now we are only collecting from a few Drupal test sites but we have the capacity to effectively--- if we wanted and it made any sense--- to include in an interface (that is a module so services are available to nearly any Drupal) each and every Drupal site on the planet.

Web Search:
http://drupalix.ibu.de/?q=aaa/ib/dash
Sample term: "Nazi"
(This is intentended for D-A-S-H---- which we have many millions of anti-racist pages.)

There are actually lot of other kinds of searches we could add into Drupal, such as Mailing lists etc. Any ideas what makes sense?

We have implemented these features as a module.

For the discussion right now lets focus on Drupal specific (Web != Drupal).

The idea is to break-down the borders in large communities between individual Drupals to create communities of synthetic Drupal sites (really what Syndication could have been about). Would it make sense (as I'm leaning) to allow for remote rendering of context and perhaps even store-and-forwarding. This would offer the advantages of distributed designs but also the advantages of centralised services (connectivity, resources, etc.).

The guys at www.fiveacross.com just launched Bubbler "a new way of looking at web publishing."

Has anyone here had an opportunity yet to take it for a test drive?
Curious what you all think about their drag and drop web publishing process, and the product in general.
