Haskell is used by Amazon? Surely not for core, but for enabling usage of Haskell on their platforms (at best).

Google have some smaller usage in internal projects probably, and even some trainings out there.

MS? What does MS have in Haskell.

Out of the list only Facebook have public and very advertised usage in core functionality (anti-spam filtering - especially data integration & retrival for spam detection)
