No, just the past two articles. Mark Ward has started writing articles with a focus on Bitcoin, and there's a good chance he'll write more on us in the future. So it looks like Forbes/Matonis's monopoly on mainstream media covering Bitcoin may finally be broken - which is good, the more outlets start writing about us regularly the faster we'll become cemented in the public consciousness before anyone knows it.

What is wrong with day-month-year?

For better sorting, all press releases should always be formated Year-month-day.

So you can simply sort them by subject.

Also cool that this has made it on BBC already.

Year-Day-Month format.

Extremely unusual. This is standardized in ISO-8601. Nobody in his right mind would use YYYY-DD-MM, because it looks like an ISO-8601 date. It is always YYYY-MM-DD. But of course the world is a madhouse, and there are always some idiots around.

Typically you can hit the "report to moderator" link, and I will fix any broken subject lines to follow YYYY-MM-DD format.
