Second mention on Gizmodo in so many days.

Today from gizmodo au.
http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2011/07/the-real-world-bitcoin-business-is-kind-of-booming/

Yesterday from regular gizmodo.
http://gizmodo.com/5816615/you-can-now-use-bitcoins-in-the-real-world

The AU article invites you to list other companies that accept bitcoin, so list any you know. Light up these articles so that gizmodo learns that bitcoins are a good news item to cover.

...I know it sounds crazy, but if the people who make a living by exploiting the insecure way we currently make electronic transactions trust Bitcoin, then Bitcoin must be on to something.

I would be much more skeptical if Bitcoin was exclusively used by a group of idealistic academics. If it can survive as the currency of the underworld, then there's no reason honest people can't use it too.
