What was the most complex / complicated web-site or web-page that you have created or seen?

What made it so complicated or complex?

+6  A: 

Amazon.com might qualify. It calls on hundreds of services every time you make a request. If it's not at the top of the list, I'll bet it's in the Top Ten for complexity.

Has anyone read that internal developer blog from an Amazon developer that was made public a while ago? Good reading....

Steve Yegge's recently released long story? I usually like his writing very much, but I didn't care for that one.

+2  A: 

recently released wolframalpha.com.

It's incredibly complex because I can't even start to fathom how they are doing what they do.

+1 - Agreed, but more for what's going on the back than the page itself. Stephen Wolfram is one smart man, indeed.

+1  A: 

I think some of the Google webapps like the search engine, GMail and Analytics are pretty complex.

A: 

I think Archello.com is super complex. Social networking, advanced search, augmented reality, open source, videos, database, newsletters etc. it seems to have everything possible on one website.
