NYCPHP Meetup

[Donna Marie Vincent]

I don't recall discussions from last year re political websites, but the Republican presidential candidate's website was McCainSpace.com which was built by and run on KickApps, which is not Joomla.  So until I see some numbers I don't see how this speaks to anything other than  propaganda.

I don't know of an scientific survey, but yeah as amusing as it was last year to see Republican candidates using Joomla to try to keep up with an increasing reliance on Drupal by their Democratic opponents, it's was even more so to see Fox launch their Drupal based social media site this year— just as the Obama team was planning all their web site do-overs in Drupal.

Yes, for about 2 weeks until she publicly announces she's already bored with it. 
And with over 2 million page views a day, I feel bad for the guy who is charged with getting Joomla to scale that far out.  :-O
