A screen shot of the Royal Wedding website(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Google (www.google.com) announced on Tuesday via its Europe Developer blog that it has been selected to host the official Royal Wedding website (www.officialroyalwedding2011.org).
Now launched, the website provides information, including photos and videos, about the upcoming April 29th wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.The website also includes an embedded YouTube video, a link to a Facebook Page, and Twitter and Flickr streams.
The Royal Wedding site promises to be the first to offer all information regarding the wedding, including facts about Middleton's wedding dress.
The deal is certainly a significant customer win for Google, considering the amount of press and attention the event is currently receiving, and will undoubtebly help to attract more organizations that are considering using Google App Engine.
On the Europe Developer Blog, the company wrote that the Google App Engine "allows developers easily to build and host their web applications on Google's own computing infrastructure," and offers a "great way to run apps quickly, more securely, and at scale, which makes it ideal for such an important national occasion."
At the bottom of every page on the Royal Wedding website is a brief note that says, "Powered by Google App Engine, implemented by Accenture."
According to its website, Accenture is a "global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company" that serves clients in more than 120 countries.
The website also mentions that "Subject to further planning work, the website may feature a live web stream broadcast of the wedding itself," which would be a rather daunting task in terms of handling the overwhelming web traffic.
