NL: IBM Pays Million To Sponsor Super Bowl Site (fwd)
Big Blue Scores: IBM has paid an estimated $1 million to the National
Football League ([12][Company Capsule]) for the right to sponsor the
NFL's official Super Bowl Web site ([13]http://www.superbowl.com),
according to industry analysts.

What does IBM get from all that? "It shows we can handle a lot of
traffic securely," says Laura Wessner, a spokeswoman for IBM. "It's a
demonstration of what we can do for people's businesses."

i don't know how famous we are but all the gamespot network sites
(www.gamespot.com, video.gamespot.com, ping.gamespot.com, etc...) all
run apache + modperl.
we are doing ~10 million requests per day on 3 machines (2 IRIX, 1
FreeBSD).

If we do, it should only be with the permission (and collusion)
of the sites involved. NASA, the British royal family, Wired, ...
There should also be an autojob set up to verify regularly that
they *continue* to use Apache.
I'll take on the task of automating this if there's one more +1
on the concept. Additional 'famous sites' to be included are
hereby solicited..

It would be very useful to have a page of high-profile sites which run
Apache.

In fact, a list of sites not running Apache would be smaller. <g>

Do you mean http://www.apache.org/info/apache_users.html?
Well, this page is very outdated and I suppose that it is no longer
maintained.
With Apache running on 50% on all internet hosts there is IMHO no
real need for such a page... but I still think that a page with
'famous Apache sites' would be kinda interesting, wouldn't it?
ciao...

There's already one that's vaguely along those lines, isn't there? Dunno
how up-to-date it is, though...

Yep, there was a L0pht advisory on bugtraq... On a badly configured
domino site it's possible to modify server configuration and documents.
BTW, I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to create a
'famous sites using Apache' page and put it on www.apache.org?
