Just to clarify, my cautionary note about Drupal was that if you do not know how to tune it, it can be very resource hungry. I'm sure with the resources MTV and Twitter have they will get it tuned to work a dream!
I had a client who moved from a bespoke plain PHP site I developed to Drupal and another developer as I had no experience of Drupal. His reasoning was he worked in the charity sector and wanted to be seen to be using an open source solution. He spent around 5k on the original site which crashed his dedicated server time and time again. Over the last 3 years he spent at least the same amount again with at least 5 other Drupal 'experts' who have now got the site working but in that time his money has been spent fighting fires, not taking the site forward and that's had a hugely negative effect on his business. Is this Drupal's fault? Hell no, but it does show that to make Drupal work well you need to ensure you have an experienced Drupal developer worth their salt! HTH, Paul. P.S. I would also say that if you're after a small to medium site Croogo seems a brilliant choice. As I get my head around developing plugins and contributing to open source projects I hope to help Fahad take Croogo forward as what he has developed so far is great!
