One of the best ways to push Bitcoin adoption to new levels is by rewarding users for performing daily tasks. Bing Rewards is the first company to offer Bitcoin as a reward to its users, with a total of US$500 to be won. This is a great way to get Bitcoin into the hands of everyday consumers who are not yet involved in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

It's not applicable to everyone yet... If you click on that link, and you are not one of the countries where it has been implemented, it will give you this message --> " Bing Rewards isn't available yet in your country or region."

This will make it interresting for the people who use Tor  ;)

I am in two minds about this... On the one hand, I am glad they started to use Bitcoin, but on the other hand... Should you use Bitcoin to dominate a specific market? If this sparks a competition between Microsoft

and Yahoo and Google, it would be a good thing. I just wonder why they do not reward in Bitcoin directly? The reward could be limited to a few Satoshi's a day and amount to a small amount a month. This way

poor people could benefit from this. This might even be funded by a Bitcoin merchant network in a specific area... and not from the corporate entities.   ???
