What are some big sites that are using Amazon EC2

I'm looking for examples of large websites that are hosted on Amazon EC2/S3/Cloudfront/etc.

I worked at a company where we ran a site that did 500k unique visitors per month on EC2 running 10 instances but that's still relatively small potatoes compared to some larger sites. I know smug mug and foursquare are also hosted on EC2. What other large websites are on EC2?

+3  A: 

How large is 'large'? I know that heroku runs on EC2, and they do a pretty large amount of traffic.

Good point, Heroku is a good example of a big company that does all its hosting on EC2
