21 Popular Brands That Are Using WordPress

Will you tell me what tutsplus.com is using? Thanks.

Hi,
I current work for Samsung on the web and wish to incorporate Wordpress. However, I am curious about the above listing for number 8. Samsung News. I was told "Our corporate hosting policies do not allow any open source applications such as Wordpress. We’ve had to have our SDS team actually rebuild entire applications to get around these policies. Right now, your options would be to completely go outside samsung.com (like option 2), or have SDS custom build a blog for you (like www.samsungusanews.com)."

Please clarify or adjust your listing for inaccuracy.

Thank you,
Pierre Andre Golde

Great to see. I've heard criticism that Wordpress can become slow if too many database queries. Doesn't look as though these sites have a problem.

Thanks

Awesome collection. Big brands using Wordpress shows that great things doesn't have to be expensive or cost money at all :)

wow! i'm happy to be among such an impressive group. but this leads me to a question: can i change my domain at this point or will i lose my blog and all of my posts?

Love the Ford WorPress site. Does anyone know if the theme they use is available to purchase?

I'd add http://www.number10.gov.uk/ - okay not necessarily a 'popular' brand, but a very well known one nevertheless.

Also some famous Musicians use Wordpress: http://www.duranduran.com and http://blog.bjork.com/

No way, i never would have guesssed ebay. Wordpress has been great for me, its easy to use and the plugins are easy to implement.

I'm in love with both eBay and Flickr's blog. While eBay is more appealing to my creative eye, the simplicity of Flickr's blog is noteworthy as well.

You saved me with this post. Saved me the time of researching commercial brands who use Wordpress. THANK YOU! You guys rock!

Indeed WordPress is a powerful and easy to use CMS - even in our company Genotec AG, a Swiss Internet Service Provider, all employees from administration to technic do use WP for the intranet and officially company blog.

I've been thinking that WP is super smart - so easy, good analytics, cheap or free. And I'm obviously not the only one!

All of the blogs for The San Jose Mercury News, Contra Costa Times and Oakland Tribune use WordPress.

Shirtinator works also with WP

WP is the best Blog for me !

Damn, that sound's so easy if you think about it.

GE stands for "General Electric" not "General Electronic"

I used to custom build CMS apps for fun as part of a website project. Then a client asked me to install Wordpress as a blog, then I realized you could use it as a CMS and since then I haven't looked back. The projects get done in a third of the time. I've been able to bring the price of a project down, get more work and still make a decent living with a third of the usual stress. Clients love it too.

A very good compilation. Keep up your good work!

Great list of brands. It's always nice to see some large companies using the WordPress platform. If anything, it makes it easier to convince people that WP is more than capable of running a website!

Oh yes! Greatest list Top10. WordPress - is CMS of future.

Great post team! Gettin addicted to WP Beginner!!
Do keep up the great quality..

WordPress is really versatile, and I use it a lot in designing my websites, didn't realize so many well-known companies where going the same route. It's the CMS, so useful for clients to maintain their own site and not have to rely on a webmaster. Love it!

Hmm... Great list. I think it's very helpful as beginer and as expert :). Thanks

It is easy to understand because Wordpress now is the best CMS.

I know the title of the post is popular brands, and that Mr. Brown & Co are not popular ut www.number10.gov.uk (is wordpress too) wher the UK Labour Leader is trying to recreate some Obama magic but not quite getting there

Wow! I can not believe that CNN and Samsung using wordpress!

Just want to letting you know that Sony & CPanel aren't wordpress based.

wow, wordpress is much more powerfull than before.

look like wordpress.. lol

I'm starting to think that I should stop categorizing editors in the same worthless pile as lawyers, police and priest.

This article has been shared on favSHARE.net.

It's never been easier to make a website with Wordpress. Its user friendly,easy to manage,easy to update.No need to know complex html coding anymore. Now people can have a website in just 5 minutes time. Isn't that amazing..

Wow I haven't opened ebay for years. Just realized they're using wordpress now. Makes me proud. LOL. I just started to use WP for my photography business blog. And it's really useful & effective :) Thanks for the list!

Great list!

As a WP designer/devloper, it makes me jealous to see that at least 3 of these blogs - eBay, Yahoo, & Playstation - were all done by Voce Communications (http://vocecommunications.com/).

Sony's blog shows the *.aspx extension, ehhhm... WordPress is PHP, not .NET? ;)

Crazy! The list forgot StroupeCondoBlog.com. Sup with that?

Another BIG name is Harvard Law School: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/

My company has been using WPMU for a couple of years and currently host over 500 custom designed blogs. WP is amazing. Just amazing.

I highly doubt that NYTimes is running wordpress. It's movable type!
