The White House seems to like the business plan!

A week ago, I had just filed Feidt Design LLC with the Minnesota Secretary of State's office -- so the rest of the day, of course, I was watching for omens about the business.

Fortunately, I caught a message on Twitter (via @ebeyrent originally)... there was quite a site sight to see on WhiteHouse.gov/realitycheck/node:

It was really nice for the White House to show me that Drupal development is taking off in the highest of places! (The "empty site" message was only up for a few hours, and quickly got cleaned up.)

Seriously, though, the Obama Administration has really given Drupal a leg up by using it as the content management system for Recovery.gov.

Lots of political operations are starting to use Drupal a lot, including consultants like Blue State Digital, the extensive official New York Senate site (developed by Advomatic), not to mention numerous overseas government offices. Even the Council on Foreign Relations' magazine Foreign Affairs uses Drupal now!

If you've never heard of Drupal, watch this 1-minute video to get the quick scoop. All in all, I feel pretty good about using Drupal as my primary Web development platform.
