WhiteHouse.gov has gone Drupal.

Another big win for Drupal
Another big win for Drupal. The point here is that Drupal is an extensible platform and fit for the future. While they may not be using the full power of Drupal yet, they will. And the good news about Drupal is, the Whitehouse can try something “new” in social media without wasting hundred of thousands of your tax dollars on systems integration consultants for proprietary content management system tweaks.
