High Profile ASP.NET websites
- by nandos
About twice a month I get asked to justify the reason "Why are we using ASP.NET and not PHP or Java, or buzz-word-of-the-month-here, etc".
100% of the time the questions come from people that do not understand anything about technology. People that would not know the difference between FTP and HTTP.
The best approach I found (so far) to justify it to people without getting into technical details is to just say "XXX website uses it". Which I get back "Oh...I did not know that, so ASP.NET must be good".
I know, I know, it hurts. But it works.
So, without getting into the merit of why I'm using ASP.NET (which could trigger an endless argument for other platforms), I'm trying to compile a list of high profile websites that are implemented in ASP.NET. (No, they would have no idea what StackOverflow is).
Can you name a high-profile website implemented in ASP.NET?
EDIT:
